Hi Guys,
Does any one know where I can find the regulations regarding the
transportation of compressed gas cylinders ? I have done some searches
and found some Federal Register documents but of course they are vague
or at least difficult for me to apply to my situation.
I want to transport , oxygen, acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, and
helium that are in cylinders of 4 foot height on average. One or two
at a time in a private vehicle.
Do they have to be upright ? or can I lay them flat with the exception
of acetylene ?
What kind of restraints are required ?
can they be in a trailer ? how must they be secured ?
Up till now I have only transported a set of 20cu and 10cu OA that is
in a plastic carrying case which I strapped down and also secured the
tanks to the case. I have not been too concerned about this set up,
but now that I have some bigger tanks that will occasionally need to
get filled I have been wondering how to move them.
