Cylinders

Industrial gases are supplied in a range of different cylinders and bundles. Some are supplied at high pressures while others are only available at low pressures.

Cylinders come in a range of sizes which are normally defined as the water capacity of the package. Which size is most suitable for you will depend on a range of factors including consumption and flow rate. Each cylinder is fitted with a cylinder valve tailored to suit the gas and pressure requirements.

The outlet thread is dictated by international standards to ensure that only regulators compatible with these requirements can be fitted.

Acetylene, because of its properties, needs to be stored in a cylinder containing a ‘porous mass’ into which the gas is held in a carrier solvent.
