Gas Cylinders and Their Application in Different Industries
by Hema gases Hema Gases is a leading manufacturer, supplier andGas cylinders
are used in several industries for different purposes and they generally store
gases under high pressure. Gas cylinders can store both flammable gases as well
as inert gases. Be it companies related
to food applications, inflation, evaporative cooling, propulsion and mechanical
energy, they all require gas storage equipment – known as Gas Cylinders.
The leading gas cylinder manufacturers in the
market assure to provide best gases and gas cylinder related products for use
in various industries. However, it is important for the
industries that use calibration gas
cylinders or any kind of gaseous products to have substantial knowledge and
understanding regarding gas-filled cylinders. This will help them to determine
which product type is best to meet their requirements.
What is a Gas
Cylinder?
Gas cylinder
is basically a metal tank that is used for storing gaseous materials. Gaseous
materials include industrial gases, compressed gases, specialty gases etc. and
are used in almost every industrial production process. Gases are stored under
high pressure in these cylinders. There are varied types of cylinders with
different height and measurement that are used for storing gases.
Right usage of
the gas cylinders helps in keeping the quality and safety of the stored gases.
High-pressure mixture gas cylinders
enable manufacturing industries to store and maintain gas mixture and thus
facilitate to achieve high-quality welds.
Metal used for gas
cylinders
Gas cylinders
can be made from steel, alloys, aluminum and composite materials. The critical
factors considered in determining which material is used are its mechanical
strength, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance. Carbon fiber composite
cylinders are very light due to high tensile strength but they are more
difficult to manufacture. Propane tank are the most commonly used gas
cylinders.
Applications
Industrial gas
cylinders are available in different shapes, sizes, colors and measurements for
various industrial applications, food applications, laboratories, medical and
construction industry. Gas cylinders are a convenient way to transport and
store gases under high pressure and these are used for the purposes including:
·
Chemical processes
·
Welding and flame cutting
·
Medical and laboratory uses
·
Fuel for vehicles
·
Water treatment
·
Extinguishing fires
·
Cooking and heating
· Dispensing beverages
However,
proper care and precautions must be taken while handling gases and gas
cylinders. Poor maintenance, poor installation, poor handling and storage, incorrect
filling procedure etc are great risks associated with gas cylinders.
