| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
ADVICE ON SAFE HANDLING:
PROTECT CYLINDERS FROM PHYSICAL DAMAGE; DO NOT DRAG, ROLL, SLIDE OR DROP.
WHEN MOVING CYLINDERS, EVEN FOR SHORT DISTANCE, USE A CART DESIGNED TO
TRANSPORT CYLINDERS. NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT A CYLINDER BY ITS VALVE
PROTECTION CAP. NEVER INSERT AN OBJECT (E.G. WRENCH, SCREWDRIVER, PRY
BAR, ETC.) INTO VALVE CAP OPENINGS. DOING SO MAY DAMAGE VALVE, CAUSING LEAK
TO OCCUR. USE A BACKFLOW PREVENTIVE DEVICE IN PIPING. USE AN ADJUSTABLE
STRAP WRENCH TO REMOVE OVER-TIGHT OR RUSTED CAPS. USE ONLY WITH ADEQUATE
VENTILATION. USE ONLY WITH EQUIPMENT RATED FOR CYLINDER PRESSURE. CLOSE
VALVE AFTER EACH USE AND WHEN EMPTY. IF USER EXPERIENCES ANY DIFFICULTY
OPERATING CYLINDER VALVE DISCONTINUE USE AND CONTACT SUPPLIER. ENSURE THE
COMPLETE GAS SYSTEM HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR LEAKS BEFORE USE.
NEVER PUT CYLINDERS INTO TRUNKS OF CARS OR UNVENTILATED AREAS OF PASSENGER
VEHICLES. NEVER ATTEMPT TO REFILL A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER WITHOUT THE
OWNER'S WRITTEN CONSENT. NEVER STRIKE AN ARC ON A COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDER
OR MAKE A CYLINDER A PART OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
ONLY EXPERIENCED AND PROPERLY INSTRUCTED PERSONS SHOULD HANDLE GASES UNDER
PRESSURE. ALWAYS STORE AND HANDLE COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION, PAMPHLET CGA-P1, SAFE HANDLING OF
COMPRESSED GASES IN CONTAINERS.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE, INCLUDING ANY INCOMPATIBILITIES:
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED AREA OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
AWAY FROM HEAVILY TRAFFICKED AREAS AND EMERGENCY EXITS. KEEP AT
TEMPERATURES BELOW 52 DEG. C / 125 DEG. F. CYLINDERS SHOULD BE STORED
UPRIGHT WITH VALVE PROTECTION CAP IN PLACE AND FIRMLY SECURED TO PREVENT
FALLING. FULL AND EMPTY CYLINDERS SHOULD BE SEGREGATED. USE A "FIRST
IN-FIRST OUT" INVENTORY SYSTEM TO PREVENT FULL CYLINDERS FROM BEING STORED
FOR EXCESSIVE PERIODS OF TIME. STORED CONTAINERS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY
CHECKED FOR GENERAL CONDITION AND LEAKAGE.
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS: NONE KNOWN.
