Small welding gas bottle are reusable mobile pressure vessels commonly used for storing and transporting permanent gases, liquefied gases, dissolved gases, or adsorbed gases. The nominal volume of gas bottle is generally between 0.4 and 3000 liters, and the working pressure is between 1.0 and 30 MPa. The construction of small welding gas bottle may include two or three structural types, and their bottle and head are usually formed by welding steel plates cold rolled. To ensure safe use, small welding gas bottle are usually welding with bases and covers on the lower and upper heads respectively, to protect the bottle valve and keep the bottle upright. The cover is usually fixed to the bottle ear with bolts.
When using welding gas bottle, the following safety precautions should be followed:
Storage and Handling:
Gas bottle should be stored in a well ventilated, dry, and cool place, away from sources of fire, heat, and flammable substances.
Avoid direct exposure of gas bottle to sunlight or high temperature environments to prevent an increase in pressure inside the bottle.
When handling gas bottle, appropriate transportation equipment such as hand carts should be used and the bottle should be securely secured to prevent falling or collision.
Labels and Identification:
Check if the gas bottle has a clear and visible label, including gas type, pressure, weight, and expiration date.
Ensure that the valves and accessories of the gas bottle match the type of gas being filled.
Connection and disconnection:
Before connecting the gas bottle, ensure that all connections are clean and undamaged.
Use appropriate tools to connect and disconnect bottle valves, do not use damaged tools or improper force.
When connecting or disconnecting gas bottle, appropriate personal protective equipment such as protective goggles and gloves should be worn.
Gas usage:
Before use, ensure that the valve of the gas bottle is completely closed and do not allow gas to leak.
Use appropriate regulators to ensure that the gas pressure is suitable for the job requirements.
Monitor any abnormalities during gas usage, such as leaks, abnormal sounds, or odors.
Safety equipment:
Use equipment with appropriate pressure regulators and safety valves.
Ensure that appropriate gas detectors are installed to monitor the concentration of harmful gases.
Training and knowledge:
Proper safety training should be received before using gas bottle.
Understand the characteristics and potential risks of different types of gases.
Be aware of emergency response measures, such as gas bottle leaks or fires.
Emergency preparedness:
Prepare appropriate emergency equipment, such as firefighting equipment and leak control equipment.
Develop and understand emergency evacuation plans and accident response procedures.
Regular inspections:
Regularly inspect gas bottle to ensure no corrosion, dents, or other damage.
Ensure that all safety equipment is in good working condition.
Following these safety measures can significantly reduce the risk of using welding gas bottle. If you have any questions about the safe operation of specific types of gas bottle, it is recommended to consult the gas bottle supplier or a professional safety consultant.
