How to ensure the safety of small carbon dioxide cylinders during use? What are the necessary safety measures and precautions?
Publish Time: 2024-09-12
When using small carbon dioxide gas cylinders (industrial grade), in order to ensure their safety, a series of necessary safety measures need to be taken and relevant precautions need to be followed. Here are some key points:
Safety measures
Storage environment:
Small carbon dioxide gas cylinders should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place away from direct sunlight, away from fire, heat sources (such as heaters, stoves) and flammable and explosive items.
The indoor temperature should be controlled within an appropriate range to avoid excessive temperature causing abnormal pressure increase in the gas cylinder.
Storage method:
The gas cylinder should be stored vertically and fixed on a stable shelf to prevent collapse or rolling.
It is strictly forbidden to place the gas cylinder horizontally, because when it is placed horizontally, there is mostly liquid near the bottle mouth. When the pressure reducing valve is opened, the liquid will quickly vaporize, which may cause the gas guide tube to burst and a large amount of gas to leak.
Inspection and maintenance:
Regularly check the appearance of the gas cylinder for rust, deformation or damage. If there is any abnormality, it should be reported in time and replaced.
Perform regular inspection and maintenance at the prescribed time, such as checking and weighing once every two years, and conducting water pressure strength tests every five years.
Pre-use inspection:
Before using the gas cylinder, carefully check whether the gas cylinder is damaged or leaking, and ensure that the valve is in the closed state.
Before use, the valve and interface should be cleaned to ensure that there are no impurities and oil stains.
Operation:
When opening the valve, turn it slowly to avoid sudden opening to cause high-pressure gas injection.
Wear protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc., and ensure that the operating environment is well ventilated.
Precautions
Prohibition of overpressure use:
It is strictly forbidden to use overpressure or use the gas cylinder continuously for a long time to avoid excessive pressure on the gas cylinder, resulting in safety hazards.
Prevent backflow:
If the gas cylinder is used in the gas supply system, ensure that there is a check valve device in the system to prevent water or other liquids from backflowing into the gas cylinder.
Prohibition of illegal use:
It is strictly forbidden to use gas cylinders for illegal activities or unauthorized occasions, such as blasting, firecrackers and other illegal acts.
Emergency treatment:
If the gas cylinder leaks or leaks, personnel should be evacuated immediately and away from the leak source to avoid static sparks or open flames.
Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the gas cylinder by yourself, and notify professionals immediately for handling.
Training and awareness:
People who use gas cylinders should receive professional training to understand the use and precautions of gas cylinders.
Improve safety awareness and consult professionals in time when encountering unclear situations or problems.
By following the above safety measures and precautions, the safety risks of small carbon dioxide gas cylinders during use can be significantly reduced, ensuring the safety of personnel and property.
