lifetime 15 years, testing every 5 year, oxigen compatible

I used to have the Draeger composite spheres on the MK-15.

IIRC, they have 15 years lifetime but not supposed to be pressure-tested during this period. I believe something to do with expansion when overpressured will harm the composite integrity...
