How to operate gas sample cylinders correctly
The personnel who use gas sample cylinders must undergo extremely strict professional training. Only those who are very familiar with the dangers and have received training in correct operation techniques can operate gas sample cylinders.
Because the cylinder containing compressed gas is heavy and difficult to move, if the gas sample cylinders is not operated correctly, it may cause sprains, injuries, falls, bruises or fractures. If the gas escapes from the cylinder due to misoperation, many dangers will occur, such as fire, explosion, chemical burn, poisoning and frostbite. Therefore, gas users must increase the following vigilance to prevent injuries caused by incorrect operation of compressed gas cylinders.
We need to prohibit the following behaviors:
1. Pull or slide the gas sample cylinders, even for a short distance.
2. Drop the gas sample cylinders or let them violently collide with each other.
3. Subject the gas sample cylinders to mechanical shock that may damage the valve.
4 Use the gas sample cylinders as a rotor to move materials or other equipment.
5. Block the pressure reducing device of the gas sample cylinders.
6. Let oil, grease, or other flammable substances come in contact with gas sample cylinders, valves, or equipment that is using oxides.
7. Remove the product label.
8. Refill the compressed gas cylinder. This can only be done by a qualified compressed gas manufacturer.
9. Attempt to grasp the falling gas sample cylinders.
So how do we operate the gas sample cylinders? The following is the correct operation behavior.
1. Use a suitable cart to move the gas sample cylinders.
2. Keep the valve protection cap in place until the gas sample cylinders is secured and ready for use.
3. Fix the gas sample cylinders when storing, handling or using.
4. When returning the gas sample cylinders to the supplier, properly close the cylinder valve and properly install the cylinder sheath.
5. Use the correct personal protective equipment for gas sample cylinders handling. Wear safety glasses with shields, leather gloves, safety shoes and other suitable equipment.
