200 bar tanks can be filled up to 200 bar and sometimes even up to 232 bar. 300 bar tanks require a special DIN valve, and you will need a DIN300bar connection on 1st stage for the regulator set.
A single tank consists of 1 tank cylinder and a valve. Depending on the type of tank it may come with a mesh netting and/or tank boot.
