Oxygen Cylinder Storage Principles

All materials connected to an #oxygen_cylinder must be compatible and specifically designed for #oxygen use. Although oxygen is #nonflammable, it will accelerate combustion.?

Here are some actions you should take when storing compressed oxygen cylinders:?

- Do not store oxygen in an indoor #acetylene generator room.?

- If oxygen cylinders are stored in an outdoor #acetylene_generator house, the cylinders must be separated from the generator and carbide storage room by a #non_combustible barrier with a fire-resistance rating of at least 1 hour, that has no openings, and is gas-tight.?

- Store oxygen cylinders separated from #fuel_gas_cylinders or combustible materials (especially oil or grease) by a minimum distance of 20 ft (6.1 m) or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft (1.5 m) high having a fire-resistance rating of at least 1∕2 hours.?
