Smaller, more portable cylinder options suitable for mobile welding operations offer 6.5 kilograms of gas.

For high-volume users Refrigerant Gas Distributor: Refrigerant Gas Suppliers™’s manifold cylinder pallet (MCP) solution houses 15 cylinders containing 510 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

Refrigerant Gas Distributor: Refrigerant Gas Suppliers™ also offers all the necessary and approved equipment, including hoses, torches and regulators for working safely and effectively with this product.

Refrigerant Gas Distributor: Refrigerant Gas Suppliers™ liquid carbon dioxide is provided in a specialist cylinder designed for easy, efficient and safe extraction.

• A colourless and odourless gas that can cause the nose to sting in high concentrations
• Toxic in high concentrations, an asphyxiant (does not support life)
• Slightly corrosive in the presence of moisture
• Heavier than air, carbon dioxide will collect in ducts, drains and low-lying areas
• Highly soluble in water at moderate pressures
• Small, portable cylinders suitable for mobile welding work
• Cylinder sizes to support all customer usage levels

Carbon Dioxide Cylinder Notes

1. Cylinder sizes VB, VK and WV are for vapour withdrawal; LB, LK and WL are for liquid withdrawal. Not all
cylinders are available from all locations.
2. This is the outlet connection of the cylinder valve fitted to each cylinder, and which is designed primarily
to receive the gas pressure regulator.
3. Each cylinder valve incorporates a bursting disc safety device, designed to rupture at 180–200 bar.
Do not tamper with this disc.

Carbon Dioxide Cylinder Precautions for safe handling:

Only experienced and properly instructed persons should handle gases under
pressure. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product,
its supply pressure and temperature. Refer to supplier’s handling instructions. The
substance must be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
procedures. Protect containers from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or
drop. Do not remove or deface labels provided by the supplier for the
identification of the container contents. When moving containers, even for short
distances, use appropriate equipment eg. trolley, hand truck, fork truck etc.
Secure cylinders in an upright position at all times, close all valves when not in
use. Provide adequate ventilation. Suck back of water into the container must be
prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Avoid suckback of water,
acid and alkalis. Keep container below 50°C in a well-ventilated place. Observe all
regulations and local requirements regarding storage of containers. When using
do not eat, drink or smoke. Store in accordance with
local/regional/national/international regulations. Never use direct flame or
electrical heating devices to raise the pressure of a container. Leave valve
protection caps in place until the container has been secured against either a wall
or bench or placed in a container stand and is ready for use. Damaged valves
should be reported immediately to the supplier Close container valve after each
use and when empty, even if still connected to equipment. Never attempt to
repair or modify container valves or safety relief devices. Replace valve outlet
caps or plugs and container caps were supplied as soon as container is
disconnected from equipment. Keep container valve outlets clean and free from
contaminates, particularly oil and water. If user experiences any difficulty
operating container valve discontinue use and contact supplier. Never attempt to
transfer gases from one container to another. Container valve guards or caps
should be in place. Depressurisation of liquid CO2 below approximately 5 bar can
create solid CO2 which may block protective devices, pipework and create dry-ice
within containers. Containers which contain or have contained flammable or
explosive substances, must not be inerted with liquid carbon dioxide.
