Uniweld Stand Tank Nitrogen Carrying 516

The Uniweld 516 is a stand for nitrogen and gas cylinders, providing stable support during use and storage.

Securing compressed gas cylinders is among the more important safety practices in this trade, and it is treated casually more often than it should be.

A cylinder contains gas at high pressure, and the valve at the top is the weak point. If a cylinder falls and the valve is struck hard enough to break off, the escaping gas propels the cylinder with enormous force. Cylinders have gone through walls in documented incidents, and the outcome for anyone in the path is fatal.

The controls are straightforward and required by regulation in most workplaces. Cylinders are secured upright at all times, whether in use, in storage, or in transit. The valve protection cap is fitted whenever the cylinder is not in use, and it is what protects the valve from impact. Cylinders are moved with a cart rather than being rolled or dragged, and never lifted by the valve or the cap.

Storage requires cylinders to be upright, secured, in a ventilated location, with full and empty cylinders separated and incompatible gases stored apart.

In a vehicle, cylinders must be restrained and the space ventilated.

Confirm the stand suits the cylinder size and provides genuine stability, and secure cylinders whenever they are not in a cart.
