Responsibilities of Distributor and
Fillers of Liquid Cylinders
Chart is stating below the responsibilities of the filler of
any cryogenic liquid cylinder:
1. The cylinder must be in a safe condition.
The filler is responsible for confirming that any
cylinder to be filled is in its proper working condi-
tion. This includes that:
• It has an acceptable vacuum.
• The relief system is in place and functioning.
• There is no structural damage to the cylinder.
• All warning labels are in place and legible.
2. Do not overfill the cylinder.
The cylinders are not to be filled beyond the
recommended filling weight for the liquid being
dispensed.
3. Dispense only to knowledgeable users.
T
he filler must determine that the user is knowl-
edgeable about the general characteristics of the
product and the proper safety precautions for
its use. Do not allow customers to fill their own
cylinders.
4. Dispose of cylinders properly.
To eliminate the risk of injury from the improper
reuse of cryogenic (vacuum jacketed) cylinders,
before disposal, destroy the cylinder’s pressure
retaining capability.
We recommend:
1. Purge the cylinder’s contents.
2. Drill multiple holes through the cylinder and its
vacuum casing or otherwise puncture the tank.
Do it yourself! Don’t assume it will be done by the
scrap dealer.
