A pressurized container where we stock gases is generally called a gas tank or cylinder. The pressure inside the container is atmospheric to make sure it is safely stored. Some varieties of this may have high pressure depending on the purpose. This type of highly pressurized vessels is known as bottles. Some countries call it as Liquefied Petroleum Gas or LPG.
Knowing what cylinder to buy can be very tricky, especially if you are concerned if you want to buy a new one or the used one. It is essential that you have an idea on how many cubic feet the vessels you are interested in. Also, you must look into consideration the neck of the vessel as well as the cylinder valves. If in cases, that the neck has label or engraving that shows that it is a rental or a name of a certain company is on it, it is best to avoid it instead.
Take note that the container should be certified. This is done, every ten years to make sure it is in good shape. There are different sorts of symbolism to distinguish the upcoming certification date of the device. If you look closely, you can see that there are dates there and some kind of symbols.
In the certification date, if you can see a plus sign, that means it is already five years. If you can see a star, it means it is another five years. However, if you can see a tank does not have any marks on it, that is a good thing. Though, for tanks that are rusted out and a neck which states that it was rented, you should still avoid it.
Ensure that the cylinder you want to buy is properly labeled or has some necessary indications to show its content. This marks should be clearly defined using a stamp or a stencil. Some companies, do not prefer stencils or stamps but instead they use labels. It usually depends, but at least there are clear marks.
The only drawback to this sort of labeling is that, it can easily be removed. Actually, you can remark it your self if you want to, as long as you know what is in it. If you do not have any idea, you can return the vessel directly to where you purchase it.
In opening the valve, you should be very careful. The trick is, open it a little bit at first and pause for several times until the needle stops. In the event that it stops, make sure that you open it one hundred percent right away. It should be unlocked in this way to avoid possible explosions.
When the equipment is empty, assure that the valves are closed and the regulators should be removed. Right after, replace the valve cap and the equipment should be marked that it is empty and separate to the other cylinders. This is to ensure your safety and to classify what device has contents on it and what are not.
