SCUBA tanks are 3000 psi. IIRC, ALL SCUBA were 5 years, and a lot were in the 1800 - 2000 psi range. I think the reason they were checked more often was internal corrosion caused by their environment. Although, if you followed proper procedure, you never let the tank go completely empty, hence no water infiltration. But then, lots of pumping systems were marginal and water was put in when the tank was filled.
