Oxygen cylinders are pressure vessels used for storage and transportation, featuring special requirements in their structure and usage that differ from those of fixed pressure vessels. Therefore, in addition to the relevant standards for pressure vessels, specialized standards must be followed during inspections. So, what should be noted when using oxygen cylinders? Below is a detailed introduction:
Cylinders should be protected from direct sunlight and kept away from high temperatures, open flames, and metal splatter.
Cylinders should be stored upright, with protective caps screwed on to prevent grease and dust from entering the valve opening. They should be securely fastened with railings or supports to prevent tipping.
Cylinders should be kept at least 1 meter away from radiators and other heat sources.
Oxygen cylinders have become an ideal oxygen supply device for hospitals, emergency stations, sanatoriums, home care, battlefield rescue, personal healthcare, and various oxygen-deficient environments. The requirements for their use have become even more stringent.
