Compressed gas cylinder storage nfpa.

Because of this nfpa guidelines require that all compressed gas cylinders of all sizes are restrained securely at all times so that they don t fall or tip over. For the purpose of segregating empty and full cylinders the facility should establish a level of where this delineation would be made. Nfpa 99 does not define the point where a cylinder is considered empty. Compressed gas cylinders can store flammable gases like acetylene and inert gases like helium.

6 storage use and handling of liquefied and nonliquefied compressed gases in laboratory work areas in accordance with nfpa 45 standard on fire protection for laboratories using chemicals a 1 1 2 6 the storage and use of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids outside the boundaries of laboratory work areas are covered by this code.
