what training, if any have you had?
on first seeing a question such as this, it would appear that you know very little about diving equipment as all of the above should be covered in either basic training or the actual diving involved in the qualification process.
to try to answer your question, despite how much the question actually scares me, have a butchers on wikipedia. failing that, get down to your LDS and ask there, taking your regs with you.

Joe,
Most single 12 L cylinders are 232 bar and come in normal or 'dumpy' sized. The best make I have come across is Faber with MDE valves in them.
As for your regs if they screw into the cylinder valve they are DIN but if they have an A clamp/yoke system they they are 'normal'.
Hope that helps
