Guidelines and Storage Requirements for Mobile Oxy/Acetylene Safety Cabinets

September 28, 2021

Pure oxygen is used in gas welding, cutting, fastening, and brazing applications. Although oxygen itself won’t burn or explode, it can vivaciously speed up the burning of other combustible gases like acetylene. Oxygen is a Class 2.2/5.1 non-combustible, oxidising gas and may cause or heighten a fire, just as detonate if the chamber is warmed. Acetylene is an unstable fuel gas with a wide scope of modern applications including welding and brazing; wood-maturing and carbon covering; fire warming/gouging/solidifying/cleaning; warm showering; and finishing.

Acetylene is never utilised in its unadulterated state. It comes in extreme chambers containing a permeable mass and a combination of the gas disintegrated in a dissolvable (typically CH3)2CO). These unique chambers are intended to dial back deterioration: a risky substance response that makes extreme warmth and blasts. Ordinarily, decay happens because the chambers are dropped, affected, or handled generally. Continuously keep acetylene chambers limited with a safety leash or chain.

Mobile Oxy/Acetylene Safety Cabinets

When oxygen levels in the air are higher than 21%, this is known as an oxygen-enhanced climate. Chamber holes or breaks can rapidly bring the oxygen to step up in a room or restricted space prompting a fire or blast.

Oxygen chambers can detonate, when in contact with contrary substances like oil, certain plastics and metals, and at that point exploding in flames and blasts. Warmth can likewise make the gas expand and detonate.

Jonda’s Mobile Oxy/Acetylene Safety Cabinets

We designed these cabinets to transport size D Colt 33 acetylene bottles in various types of vehicles. Also, we safety tested their construction thoroughly to ensure that there will be no leaks or other issues. The cabinet combines a compartment to protect hoses and torches with a trolley that is easy to use. This cabinet can be used to carry an oxy/acetylene bottle or two acetylene bottles.

Specific Features in This Cabinet

We have a more lightweight and compact container system, which makes this cabinet easier to load, transport and unload when needed. The steel construction of the body makes the cabinet durable and long-lasting. It can stand up to daily use. A rubber airtight door seal with an adjustable locking mechanism ensures the cabinet stays closed securely during transport.

The fitted air vent provides adequate ventilation to the cabinet, same with the flexible hose connection for external fresh air. The storage bracket for the hose in the cabinet keeps the hoses organised and safe from harm during transport. Durable rubber wheels provide smooth cabinet movement across floors and other surfaces.

The doors of these cabinets contain the required “FLAMMABLE GAS 2” warning label.
