Whether in daily life, or in the field of production, gas cylinders are very common. It is a kind of pressure equipment, with flammable, explosive, toxic, strong corrosion and other properties, so the placement requirements for industrial gas cylinders are very strict. Today, let's follow Xiaobian to understand the specific placement requirements are what?
Introduction to the requirements for the placement of industrial gas cylinders
Industrial gas cylinder
1. Gas cylinders should be stored in well-ventilated places. It is strictly prohibited to store them near precision equipment, cables, refueling systems, inflammables or in closed Spaces. Cylinders must be fitted with two shock rings and a cylinder cap.
2. The cylinders shall be stored upright and placed in the cylinder holder, cylinder cage or other specified areas, and shall be fixed by special fixing facilities such as ropes and chains or other feasible measures.
3. Do not contact the gas cylinder with live objects, and the gas cylinder valve should not be contaminated with grease.
4. It is strictly prohibited to mix the gas cylinder with combustible and explosive materials.
5. Tighten the cap of the gas cylinder before handling. Gas cylinders should be lightly loaded and unloaded. Throwing, rolling and collision are strictly prohibited. Cylinders should be moved using wheelbarrows, carts, etc.
6. Do not use the gas bottle cap as a lifting point or handle.
7. Do not place the gas cylinder near the heat source. The storage temperature of the gas cylinder shall meet the following requirements: Acetylene gas cylinder shall not be higher than 40℃, argon gas cylinder shall not be higher than 50℃, oxygen cylinder shall not be higher than 60℃.
8. The gas in the cylinder shall not be used up. The remaining pressure of the oxygen cylinder shall not be less than 0.2MPa. The remaining pressure of the argon cylinder should not be lower than 0.5MPa. The remaining pressure of the acetylene cylinder shall not be lower than the following: 0.1MPa when the ambient temperature is 0 ° C to 15 ° C, 0.2MPa when the ambient temperature is 15 ° C to 25 ° C, and 0.3MPa when the ambient temperature is 25 ° C to 40 ° C.
9. It is strictly prohibited to mix oxygen and acetylene cylinders. When performing gas welding (cutting) operations, the safe distance between oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders should be at least 5 meters, and the safe distance between gas cylinders and ignition points should not be less than 10 meters.
10. Gas cylinder accessories, such as safety cap, shockproof seat, pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, etc., should be fully qualified. Gas cylinders of dissolved acetylene cylinders and other flammable gases should also be equipped with an ignition preventer suitable for the gas type. Different types of ignition preventers should not be used together.
11. The dissolved acetylene cylinder shall not lie down when in use.
12. The rubber hose connected to the gas cylinder must be securely bound with a hoop. Damaged or seriously aged rubber hose should not be used.
13. Check the air tightness of the gas cylinder system before gas welding (cutting). Do not use the system when there is leakage.
14. Cylinders that are overdue or without a manufactured inspection stamp shall not be used.
15. Cylinders shall not be transported to high places by dangerous means such as rope pulling, nor shall cylinders be transported down stairs or chute by free tumbling.
