As a cabinet for storing and transporting gas, gas cylinders have high pressure and danger, so certain requirements and regulations must be followed when stored and used to ensure safety. Here are some basic requirements for gas cylinder storage.
Gas cylinders should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry and non-combustible place. The storage area should be away from open flame, high temperature and flammable materials, and avoid sun and rain. At the same time, the storage area should have fire prevention facilities, such as fire extinguishers, in order to respond to sudden fires.
Cylinders should be stored vertically, not horizontally or upside down. The bottle should be kept at a certain distance from the ground to avoid moisture or mechanical damage. The bottom of the bottle should be placed on a flat ground to ensure its stability.
The storage area should be divided according to the type and nature of the gas cylinder and clearly marked. Different types of cylinders should be stored separately to prevent confusion or cross-contamination.
The unit storing the gas cylinders shall establish storage records, including the type, quantity, storage place and storage date of the gas cylinders. Check the cylinder regularly to ensure that it is intact. If abnormal conditions such as deformation and gas leakage are found in the cylinder, they should be dealt with in time.
Protective measures should be set up in the area where the gas cylinder is stored, such as the installation of anti-collision columns, the setting of protective guardrail, etc., to avoid collision or falling of the gas cylinder.
It is prohibited to store gas cylinders in crowded areas, such as offices, dormitories and other places. At the same time, it is also prohibited to store gas cylinders in flammable and explosive places, such as oil depots, chemical plants and other dangerous areas.
Before using the gas cylinder, it should be inspected to ensure its safety and reliability. When using, pay attention to the operating procedures to avoid the sudden opening or closing of the bottle valve, so as to avoid accidental injury.
Gas cylinders that have failed or are no longer in use should be disposed of in accordance with regulations. Under normal circumstances, the gas cylinder should be handed over to a professional organization for recycling, and do not discard or dispose of it without permission.
Different types of gas cylinders have different storage cycles, and should be regularly inspected and tested according to regulations to ensure their safety and reliability. Under normal circumstances, the storage cycle of common gas cylinders is 2-5 years.
Gas cylinder storage is an important safety requirement that must be strictly observed. Only in accordance with the provisions of the storage, in order to effectively prevent the cylinder safety accidents, to protect the safety of personnel and property. Therefore, both enterprises and everyone should strictly follow the relevant requirements when using and storing gas cylinders to ensure safety first.
