Which of the following is considered proper care of a scuba cylinder?
Exceeded the maximum allowable working pressure when filling.Preventing moisture
from entering the cylinder. Filling cylinders rapidly, approximately 1000 to 1500 psig (69
to 103 bar) per minute. Heating cylinders to a high temperature. - Answer -Preventing
moisture from entering the cylinder
