Gas Cylinder Storage and Gas Cylinder Containers

Since the improper storage of pressure bottles represents a high potential for danger, appropriate storage in the operational everyday life must be guaranteed. The most important instructions for the handling of your gas cylinders can be found in the safety data sheet or as a label on the gas cylinder. The storage of the gas cylinders, which must be reassessed for each gas, must be in accordance with these instructions.

Gas cylinders must be protected against fire and strong temperature fluctuations. Damage and corrosion must also be prevented. In addition, it must be ensured that unauthorised persons can not obtain access to the gas cylinder container.

Safety

Gas cylinders present different hazards that need to be taken into account for health and safety purposes, all of which mean that it is imperative to choose the correct storage. Issues to consider include the fact that cylinders contain gases kept under pressure and will therefore have stored energy that if accidently released could cause injury. The gas substances could be combustible, toxic, or produce rapid asphyxiation if stored in confined spaces. Also, cylinders are usually heavy and somewhat unstable due to the base diameter to height ratio, so tall, thin ones can easily fall over. It is also important to assess access to the storage area to ensure that it is easy to keep manual handling distances of cylinders to a minimum, and that it is simple for deliveries and the emergency services to get in. Safety measures also include keeping the lowest number of required cylinders in the workplace, keeping the movement of them to a minimum, and removing any not in use to storage facilities. Users should also know the rules connected to the use of gas cylinders and should have had appropriate training.
