Gas Cylinder License
From The most remote corners of the Earth comes the gas that makes modern life possible.
What is a Gas Cylinder License?
A Gas Cylinder License is an official approval required for the: Storage of filled or empty gas cylinders, Filling or refilling of gas cylinders, Import or sale of cylinders, Manufacturing or repairing cylinders, Use of gases under pressure for industrial or medical purposes.
“Compressed Gas” means any permanent gas, liquefiable gas or gas dissolved in liquid under pressure or gas mixture which in a closed gas cylinder exercises a pressure either exceeding 2.5 kgf/cm2 abs (1.5 kgf/ cm2 gauge) at +150 C or a pressure exceeding 3kgf/ cm2 abs (2 kgf/ cm2 gauge) at + 500 C or both; Explanation – Hydrogen Fluoride falls within the scope of compressed gas although its vapour pressure at 500 C is 1.7 to 1.8 atmospheric gauge
This license is mandatory under the Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016.
