MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY

Air is non-corrosive and so any common metal is acceptable, provided the equipment is designed to withstand process pressure.

CYLINDER INFORMATION:

    Compressed gas is commonly packed and shipped as a high pressure gas in seamless, steel cylinders constructed to Interstate Commerce Commission specifications 3A or 3AA and having a nominal capacities such as 80, 122, 150, 244, and 300 cu. ft. of gaseous nitrous oxide.

    Equipped with safety relief devices which consist of a frangible disc designed to burst under excessive pressure, a core of fusible metal with a low melting point designed to melt and release the gas in case of fire.
