Gas cylinders (Freelander 2)

Gases such as oxygen, acetylene, argon and propane are typically stored in cylinders at pressures up to 138 bar (13800 kPa). Therefore, when handling them, special care should be taken to avoid mechanical damage to both the cylinders themselves and the fittings connected to them (valves, reducers, etc.). The contents of each cylinder must be clearly identifiable by appropriate markings.

Cylinders should be stored in well ventilated areas. They should be protected from ice and snow and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. combustible gases (e.g. acetylene and propane) should not be stored in close proximity to oxygen cylinders.

In order to avoid leakage from gas cylinders and lines, you should be very careful and attentive when handling them. Keep sources of ignition away from them.

Only trained personnel should be allowed to work with gas cylinders.
