Safety regulations for storage of oxyacetylene cylinders

Oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders are usually used in industry. Because of their characteristics, once they are used or stored improperly, they may cause serious accidents. Therefore, when using and storing oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders, the following safety regulations must be observed:

1. storage location: oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders should be stored in different locations and cannot be mixed. The storage place should be dry, ventilated, moisture-proof and sun-proof, and should not be exposed to high temperature or near fire sources. The storage location shall be equipped with identification plates for easy identification.

2. Inspection of bottle body: Before using the bottle, it is necessary to check whether the bottle body is intact and whether there is oxygen or acetylene leakage. Use special inspection equipment during inspection.

3. Operation of bottle valve: Before using the bottle, you must check whether the bottle valve is normal and intact. The bottle valve should be kept dry and clean, and there should be no oil pollution.

4. Residual pressure in the bottle: Before using the bottle, you need to check whether there is residual pressure in the bottle. If the residual pressure is too high, the bottle will explode. When using an oxygen cylinder, the residual gas in the cylinder must be completely discharged to avoid the contact between oxygen and combustible substances and cause fire or explosion.

5. Usage restriction: Oxygen cylinders and acetylene cylinders can only be used for specified purposes, and shall not be changed or mixed at will. In the process of use, you must abide by the operating rules and not violate the safety regulations.

In short, for the use and storage of oxygen and acetylene cylinders, we must attach great importance to safety issues and strictly abide by safety regulations to ensure the safety of workplaces and the health of workers. If the bottle is found to have problems or improper use, it should be stopped immediately and the relevant personnel should be informed to deal with it.
