The following three safety assessments must be completed when purchasing a new pressurised tank:

1. Labeling and colour coding. Although cylinders are colour labelled, the contents should not be determined by this. Always identify the contents of the cylinder using the label that is attached to it. It is not advisable to utilise cylinders with labels missing or labels that don’t coordinate with the colour coding. On that matter, speak with your provider.

Once the cylinder’s contents have been established, it is vital to confirm that the gas is appropriate for the purpose. The gas pressure in the cylinder shouldn’t be higher than the regulator that is installed.

2. Tank valve. When the cylinder is delivered, the tank valve is already installed. Essentially, it is a valve that may be opened or closed with a key or spanner. After that, the pressure regulator is attached to this. The valve ought to have a factory sealing cap in place if it is on a freshly filled, unused cylinder. The fitting should be examined to make sure it is unharmed and clean of contaminants.

3. Verify the pressure regulator’s date stamp or code (the inspection period is typically 5 years); confirm the presence of the identity and rating label, which should have the name and logo of the manufacturer;

• If the gauges are marked to meet with the relevant local requirements and the pressure regulators adhere to local standards;
• If there are any indications of harm or alterations.
• If the regulator gauges are set up, the right kind for the gas, and scales appropriate for the gas pressures, they should work well.
• It is essential to bring in experts for a complete inspection if you feel that your tank is having problems.
