Cylinders: Safe Storage Handling and Use
Each compressed gas cylinder has unique hazards based on contents Some are filled with inert gases – especially those used in arc welding Many gases are flammable explosive toxic or a combination Common compressed gases include acetylene carbon dioxide argon hydrogen nitrogen air propane and oxygen |
Doc 05 21 Guidelines for the Management of Waste Acetylene
This publication sets out the standards for the safe treatment or disposal of acetylene cylinders and reflects the priority that AIGA gives to the protection of people and the environment The publication determines the standards to be achieved and describes methods by which these can be achieved |

Do Acetylene cylinders contain asbestos?
Measurements have demonstrated that no asbestos fibres are emitted during the discharge of acetylene from the cylinder. The safety benefits of using these asbestos containing porous materials have been proven by more than 30 years of use. Also, the quantity of asbestos in a typical acetylene cylinder is very small:
How do you reclaim acetylene gas?
Reclaim the acetylene gas as much as possible (acceptable quality) to the minimum practical level of gas pressure in the cylinder, or that the acetylene recovery system can manage. This can be done, for example, by equalising the cylinder pressure to the pressure in the gasholder.
Is acetylene flammable?
Acetylene is flammable and considered a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), as such there may be restrictions on venting. Weigh the cylinder and compare with the tare weight to ensure the cylinder is virtually empty of gas. A difference in the weight is not always an indication of the presence or absence of gas in the cylinder.
What are the regulations for Acetylene cylinders?
Reg 36 Requirements for acetylene cylinders. Regs 41, 42, 52,55,60,64, Colour of LPG cylinders, storage at other than ambient temperature, storage and use of LPG cylinders. Fittings, storage and use of chlorine cylinders. Fittings, storage and use of anhydrous ammonia cylinders.
