Catalina Cylinders World Class Products. First Class Service. Transporting Shipping of CO2 Cylinders Catalina Cylinders recommends that anyone transporting CO 2 cylinders should be aware of the hazards associated with CO 2 and be trained in safe practices of transporting CO 2 cylinders. Never transport a filled CO 2 cylinder in a passenger vehicle. Cylinders should never be transported in an enclosed vehicle unless the driver is separated from the cargo by a gas tight barrier.
Cylinders should be transported in a continuously cool place. Do not transport cylinders adjacent to any source of heat, intermittent or continuous. Safety relief devices of CO 2 cylinders are designed to operate when the pressure of the cylinder exceeds — psi depending on the design of the safety relief device.
A properly charged CO 2 cylinder could vent through its safety relief device at approximately o F A slightly overfilled CO 2 cylinder could vent through its safety relief device when exposed to a much lower temperature. But here is a very helpful article with video instructions, I created for you about removing a regulator.
When re-installing the regulator, make sure you tighten the regulator to remove all space between the neck of the cylinder and the bottom of the regulator. If you hand-tighten the regulator, make sure to use the back of the cylinder when removing it from the marker. As we mentioned before, paintball tanks can explode during shipping transit. There are a few reported cases of paintball tank explosion and injuries caused by the blast. An increase in elevation reduces atmospheric pressure.
And a decrease in atmospheric pressure allows the gas inside a tank to expand, resulting in a higher internal pressure because there is little atmospheric pressure pushing on it. This decrease in atmospheric pressure can cause the tank to explode. Moral of the story? As the atmospheric pressure reduces on a pressurized tank, the gas inside expands, resulting in a higher internal pressure because there is little atmospheric pressure pushing on it.
This can cause an explosion. All paintball tanks are not equal. If the paintball tank has a weak structure, it can buckle and explode while in transit. Like other things, paintball tanks lose structural integrity as they get older.
DOT, Sodastream provided ample data about the safety of our cylinders as well as information about the strength of our processes to design, manufacture, fill, inspect and test cylinders used to ship compressed gas. Through many years of experience safely shipping compressed carbon dioxide CO2 , Sodastream provided sufficient justification and successfully demonstrated that the alternative approach provides the level of safety required by the U. A- The special permit applies only to Sodastream 60L cylinders.
Q- Do I have to ship in the packaging provided by Sodastream? A- Yes, compliance with the special permit requires that the packaging provided by Sodastream be used. The packaging already has all of the necessary markings needed for compliance. It is important not to obscure or cover any pre-printed hazard communication markings.
Q- Do I need a hazmat shipping paper? Click here. A- No. You do not need a copy of the special permit to ship Sodastream cylinders. Q- Do employees that return cylinders need to be HazMat trained and certified?
