Portable Gas Cylinders

Portable compressed gases must follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines for their purpose. Check for leaks regularly and ensure all fittings and regulators are correct. 

Sizes of portable gas cylinders vary depending on whether they are high or low-pressure cylinders. Our high-pressure cylinder volumes range from 10 to 420 cubic feet, while our low-pressure ones are from 10 to 330 cubic feet. 

Disposable Gas Cylinders

Disposal cylinders will have labeling on them to indicate they aren’t refillable. You must ensure they are empty and dispose of them at an appropriate facility. They can’t be refilled or repurposed for any other use. Always comply with the relevant OSHA standards and refer to the Compressed Gas Association for excellent safety information.

Storage Solutions and Portability

Always store gas cylinders upright in a well-ventilated area away from fire hazards. You can store them outside, but ensure you place them away from the elements and busy areas. A cylinder cluster is an excellent idea for storage.

Similar rules apply to transportation. Make sure everything is well ventilated and keep the cylinders upright and secure so they cannot move around. 

Calibration Gas Cylinders

Calibration gas is part of our portable cylinder offering. It’s perfect for calibrating gas detection equipment in the field and ensuring accuracy. It is available for portable or fixed gas detection systems and in various gas mixtures for industrial or commercial use.
