Are all 30 30 brake chambers the same?

There are several different sizes or “types” of spring brake chambers, and they’re commonly referred to and listed as Type 30/30 brakes or T30/30. The “30” number has to deal with the size of the chamber, and since spring brakes are composed of two different chambers, you have two different sizes in the labels.
