Compressed Gas Bottle Safety & Handling
Compressed gases are an integral part of the modern welding and fabrication industry and vigilant and careful treatment of compressed gas cylinders is important to workplace safety. Whether gases are used for shielding a weld or cutting through metal, there are inherent risks involved including fire and asphyxiation. With the threats in mind, know that follo... ... .. .
Health & Safety with Welding Gases
There are many inherent risks of welding and cutting processes, one of which is the potential exposure to toxic gases. In some cases, such as MIG and TIG, welders purposefully use shielding gases to protect the weld pool from contamination by the atmosphere. Most of these gases are not ............
Storing and Handling Gas Cylinders
Many welding and cutting processes require the use of compressed gases, either for shielding or for fuel. These gases are stored under high pressure, upwards of 200 Bar or 200 times atmospheric pressure, and as such they must be treated with care. If a gas cylinder becomes damag.......
