Cylinder gas
Gas cylinder
For the mechanical devices used to impart a force from a pressurized gas, see pneumatic cylinder. For the large structures used to store town gas, see gas holder.
Industrial compressed gas cylinders used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting of steel.
A gas cylinder or tank is a pressure vessel used to store gases at above atmospheric pressure. High-pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles, but a bottled gas may instead be in a liquid or dissolved state in the cylinder.
Nomenclature differences Edit
In the United States, "bottled gas" typically refers to liquefied petroleum gas. "Bottled gas" is sometimes used in medical supply, especially for portable oxygen tanks. Packaged industrial gases are frequently called "cylinder gas", though "bottled gas" is sometimes used.
The United Kingdom and other parts of Europe more commonly refer to "bottled gas" when discussing any usage whether industrial, medical or liquefied petroleum. However, in contrast, what the United States calls liquefied petroleum gas is known generically in the United Kingdom as "LPG"; and it may be ordered by using one of several trade names, or specifically as butane or propane depending on the required heat output.
History Edit
The world's first natural gas cylinders were invented in China during the Tang dynasty where the Chinese drilled deep boreholes to retrieve natural gas and used bamboo tubes to collect and transport it.
