Storage And Transportation Of Acetylene Gas

Acetylene is a flammable gas with a colorless and aromatic odor, so we need to make more comprehensive preparations during storage and transportation. Next, I will explain this knowledge in detail for you.
Store:
The packaging method of acetylene is usually dissolved in solvents and porous materials, and packed into steel cylinders. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Storage temperature should not exceed 30°C. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and halogens, and should not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment.
Transportation:
When transporting in steel cylinders, the safety helmet on the cylinder must be worn. Steel cylinders are generally laid flat, and the bottle mouths should face the same direction without crossing; the height should not exceed the guardrail of the vehicle, and should be clamped firmly with triangular wooden pads to prevent rolling. During transportation, the transport vehicle should be equipped with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying this item must be equipped with a fire arresting device, and it is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks to load and unload. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with oxidants, acids, halogens, etc. In summer, it should be transported in the morning and evening to prevent sun exposure. Stay away from fire and heat sources during stopovers. When transporting by road, follow the prescribed route and do not stay in residential areas and densely populated areas. It is forbidden to slip when transporting by rail.
