Rules to be followed when filling oxygen cylinders:

2007-12-26View Original

Thread Content

1. Install an overpressure alarm device for filling to ensure that the pressure reached when the gas cylinder is filled, adjusted to 20°C, does not exceed the allowable operating pressure of the cylinder; 2. Pressure gauges and safety valves should be calibrated regularly to ensure they remain sensitive and accurate ; 3. A residual pressure of 0.5 MPa or more must remain in the bottle after use ; 4. The inflation rate of the gas cylinder shall not exceed 8 m3/h, and the filling time shall be 40–45 minutes; the control valves should be operated slowly, and oil use as well as open flames are strictly prohibited in all areas of the filling site ; 5. The tool connectors and valves used on the oxygen filling station should be made of copper ; 6. The sealing material used during filling is made of non-flammable materials that do not generate sparks ; 7. It is strictly prohibited to repair or tighten the components of gas cylinders under pressure ; 8. In the event of a fire in the filling room or oxygen cylinders, the oxygen supply must be cut off immediately, rescue efforts should be organized promptly, and the relevant authorities must be informed ; 9. No leaks are allowed when filling gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and hydrogen ; 10. To limit the filling speed of gas cylinders, the number of cylinders filled in a single batch shall not be reduced arbitrarily, nor shall empty cylinders be inserted for filling during the filling process ; 11. During the gas cylinder filling process, it is necessary to regularly check the temperature of the cylinder wall by touching it with the hand; if anything abnormal is detected, filling should be stopped immediately. During oxygen charging, the temperature of the gas cylinder must not exceed 60°C. 12. Oxygen and hydrogen must use error-proof connection fittings and filling fixtures to prevent the mixing of combustible gases with oxidizing gases. 13. It is strictly prohibited to change the coloring of various gas cylinders in use; care must be taken to avoid incorrect installation or use ; When gas cylinders are placed upright, measures should be taken to prevent them from tipping over. 14. The maximum filling pressure for oxygen cylinders is 14.7 MPa. 15. Inspectors and filling personnel shall obtain the corresponding \"Special Equipment Operator Certificate\".
