Gas Cylinders Safe Storage Solutions

Gas cylinders are essential pressure vessels designed to store and transport compressed, liquefied, or dissolved gases safely at high pressures. From medical oxygen for hospitals to industrial gases for manufacturing, these containers play a critical role in countless applications requiring reliable gas storage. Our gas cylinders combine advanced materials, precision engineering, and global certifications to deliver safety, durability, and performance across industries.

Types of Gas Cylinders: Materials & Designs

We offer a comprehensive range of gas cylinders tailored to specific pressure requirements and applications:

1. Aluminum Alloy Cylinders

Crafted from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (L6X®) and advanced L7X® alloys, these cylinders provide:

Lightweight construction: Up to 40% lighter than steel cylinders, ideal for portable applications

Corrosion resistance: Natural oxide finish eliminates rust, perfect for medical and food-grade use

High-pressure capacity: Working pressures from 12.4 MPa to 20 MPa (1,800–2,900 psi)

Seamless design: Hydraulically formed from solid billets for uniform wall thickness and strength

2. Steel Cylinders

Traditional steel cylinders excel in heavy-duty industrial applications with:

Exceptional durability: Suitable for high-volume gas storage (acetylene, propane, industrial nitrogen)

Cost-effectiveness: Ideal for non-corrosive gas applications in construction and manufacturing

Wide pressure range: Up to 300 bar working pressure for compressed gases

3. Composite Cylinders

Advanced hoop-wrapped and full-wrapped composite designs offer:

Ultra-lightweight performance: Aerospace-grade carbon fiber wraps reduce weight by 50% vs. steel

High-pressure capability: Safe operation at pressures exceeding 300 bar for specialty gases

Impact resistance: Epoxy resin matrix provides superior durability in harsh environments

Key Applications Across Industries

Gas cylinders support critical operations in diverse sectors:

1. Medical & Healthcare

Oxygen storage: EN 1975-certified aluminum cylinders deliver medical-grade oxygen for hospitals, ambulances, and home care

Anesthesia gases: Precision valves ensure controlled delivery of medical gases in operating rooms

Biomedical research: High-purity gas cylinders for laboratory cell culture and analytical equipment

2. Industrial Manufacturing

Welding & cutting: Oxygen and acetylene cylinders for metal fabrication and construction

Inert protection: Nitrogen cylinders for blanketing in chemical processing and food packaging
