Handling pressure vessels
Handling pressure vessels
l  Secure vessels against falling over!
Secure standing cylinders against falling over and lying cylinders from rolling away.
l  Do not throw pressure vessels!
An impact can cause the container to be so severely deformed that it bursts. The refrigerant evaporates immediately, releasing violent forces. Flying fragments of cylinders can cause severe injuries.
Bottle valves can brake during improper transport. To protect cylinder valves, bottles may be transported only with protective covers screwed on.
l  Do not place bottles near radiators!
Higher temperatures can develop near heaters. Higher temperatures however also mean higher pressures, which may exceed the rated pressure of the vessel.
