Requirements for storage warehouses for oxygen and acetylene cylinders

Requirements for oxygen cylinder storage warehouse:

1. The distance between the oxygen cylinder and the open flame should not be less than 10 meter, and it should not be close to the heat source or exposed to the sun.

2, should be stored in a dry and cool place, cylinders shall not be hit. The nozzle of oxygen cylinder, inhaler, pressure gauge and interface thread are strictly forbidden to be stained with grease.

3. When transporting and loading and unloading oxygen cylinders, close the bottle valve, tighten the bottle cap, handle with care, and do not collide, slide or fall.

Requirements for acetylene cylinder storage warehouse:

1, acetylene bottles should not be placed near heat sources and electrical equipment, and the distance from open flames should not be less than 10m.

2. It is strictly prohibited to place it in a place with poor ventilation or radioactive sources.

3, it is forbidden to knock, collision, bottle arc or placed on the insulator.

4, it is forbidden to exposure, it is forbidden to use a heat source above 40 degrees Celsius to heat the bottle.

Extended data:

Usually, the porous filler in acetylene bottle is made of light porous activated carbon, sawdust, pumice and diatomite. Check the acetylene cylinders one by one, and remove the dirt and foreign matter on the cylinders. Check whether the bottle body is burnt, deformed, and the coating is burnt (except the patent skin is blistered), and the bottle valve or fusible alloy is blocked with signs of fusible alloy melting and acetylene tempering.

Pressure vessel for storing and transporting dissolved acetylene. Acetylene is a flammable and explosive gas, which is prone to polymerization, explosive decomposition and other chemical reactions when heated or pressed. Therefore, acetylene is dissolved in acetone in the bottle, and acetone is adsorbed on porous fillers such as activated carbon or calcium silicate, so that acetylene can be stored and transported stably and safely.
