Gas cylinders: use and storage

Rules of use:

purchase only in specialized organizations that have permits for the sale of these products
check gas cylinders once a year
use new cylinders, or those that have passed the technical inspection
avoid exposure to open flames and electrical appliances
do not fill the cylinder more than 85% of its capacity
do not store gas cylinders in houses, apartments, balconies and basements

While using gas in everyday life, it is prohibited:

to dry laundry over a lit stove
to reinstall and repair gas appliances without permission
leave unattended working gas appliances
allow preschool children to use gas appliances
use open fire to detect gas leaks (use only soap emulsion)
install pressure regulator without O-ring/gasket
to allow damage to the rubber-fabric hose (hose),
place flammable materials and liquids near the working stove.

Importantly! For the correct filling of the cylinder and the subsequent normal operation of any devices operating on a liquefied propane-butane mixture, it is necessary to fill the cylinder with gas to no more than 85% of its total volume!

This requirement must be observed so that there is room in the gas cylinder for the so-called "vapor cushion" - a free zone that is necessary for the transition of propane-butane from a liquid to a gaseous state inside the cylinder, as well as so that when the temperature inside the cylinder increases, and therefore the volume of the liquid phase, there is no excess of permissible pressure with the subsequent operation of an emergency overpressure release.

Be careful with gas! Your forgetfulness and inattention can cause trouble to you, your loved ones and neighbors. Only skillful handling of gas appliances and knowledge of the rules for using gas will help you avoid accidents.

It is easier to prevent a fire than to extinguish it!
