Since the 1930's we have been supplying the UK Royal Navy with their high pressure gas storage requirements on submarines and surface vessels.

Chesterfield Special Cylinders has a long history of designing and manufacturing special high pressure cylinders for Naval application systems, including:

• High pressure breathing gas storage systems

• Hydraulic and valve actuation backup systems

• Submarine ballast systems

• Missile launch systems

Our bespoke range includes the curved 'banana' cylinder used in the periphery of submarine hulls.

Other Navies from around the world also take advantage of our wealth of experience in this area. Applications range from backup breathing and weapons systems to nuclear reactor valve operating systems.
