Do Respirator Manufacturers (e.g. Scott®, MSA®, et.el) manufacturer composite cylinders for use in the North America?
No. DOT (or TC) approved composite SCBA cylinders sold in North American are made by SCI or one of two other manufacturers holding a DOT Special Permit. Respirator manufacturers procure cylinders via a bid process, oftentimes selecting the lowest cost cylinders from one of these three composite cylinder manufacturers.
