Cylinder Information

Cylinders used for transport and storage of BOC compressed gases are manufactured in accordance with relevant Australian, New Zealand or overseas specifications approved by SAA Committee ME/2 gas cylinders. All have current test certificates.

Gas Cylinder Size Identification

BOC cylinder sizes are denoted by a letter code. The gas content of cylinders is measured in cubic metres, litres or kilograms. If volume unit is given, it refers to standard temperature and pressure of 15°C (101.3 kPa). The illustration below is provided to give an approximate indication of cylinder heights in relation to the average person.

 

Common Layout of Shoulder Labels

The gas name label, stencilling or component details should always be used to identify the contents of cylinders. Labels must not be removed or defaced. Any cylinder without a gas name label should be returned to the supplier for replacement.
