[Available Superseded]The verification, filling, inspection, testing and maintenance of cylinders for the storage and transport of compressed gases, Part 2: Cylinders for dissolved acetylene
This Standard introduces the concepts of blowdown rack as a safety measure for dealing with leaking or damaged cylinders. It also introduces the concept of a loose identification collar. The collar is to carry the cylinder identification marks and is retained by the cylinder valve. These two new concepts will enhance safety in the use of acetylene gas.
