FAQS on compressed gas cylinder types

Q: What are the 4 main types of compressed gas cylinders?

A: The four primary types are high-pressure cylinders for gases like oxygen or nitrogen, liquefied gas cylinders (e.g., propane), dissolved gas cylinders (e.g., acetylene), and cryogenic cylinders for ultra-cold liquids like liquid nitrogen. Each type is designed for specific gas properties and safety requirements.

Q: What are standard compressed gas cylinder sizes?

A: Common sizes include small portable cylinders (1-20 liters), medium industrial cylinders (20-50 liters), and large stationary tanks (over 50 liters). Sizes vary by region and application, with DOT/ISO standards dictating dimensions and pressure ratings.

Q: How are compressed gas cylinders classified?

A: Cylinders are classified by contents (flammable, inert, toxic), pressure rating (low/high-pressure), and material (steel, aluminum, composite). Classification ensures proper handling and storage compliance with OSHA and NFPA regulations.

Q: What safety features distinguish gas cylinder types?

A: Safety distinctions include pressure relief devices, valve types (CGA connections), and color-coding. Flammable gas cylinders typically have left-hand threads, while non-flammable use right-hand threads to prevent accidental misuse.

Q: Which industries use specific compressed gas cylinder types?

A: Medical sectors use small high-pressure oxygen cylinders, welding relies on acetylene and argon cylinders, while manufacturing uses large industrial tanks. Cryogenic cylinders are essential in food processing and scientific research applications.
