Why can't liquefied gas cylinders be placed sideways

　　Liquid gasification danger: Because the liquefied petroleum gas in the liquefied petroleum gas cylinder is a high-pressure liquefaction method (its original volume is compressed to 1/250), it is poured into the steel cylinder. Once the steel cylinder is placed horizontally, the liquid will immediately flow into the atmosphere and will expand immediately. 250 times, if there is any fire source during the expansion process, it will be dangerous;

　　Risk of heat generation due to friction: when the LPG cylinder is standing, the contact area between the liquid and the gas is small, which is safe; if it is placed horizontally, the contact area between the liquid and the gas is large, which is more dangerous; especially when it is shaken horizontally, the friction area between the liquid and the gas expands 3. The increased frequency will make the liquid vaporize and pressurize and affect its safety. If there is a heat source nearby, there is a danger of explosion;
　　The on-off valve is easy to be damaged: a large amount of heat will be absorbed during the process of changing from compressed liquid to gas. If it leaks horizontally, so that the liquid contacts the cylinder valve, it will cause the outlet to freeze and fail to perform its normal function of controlling flow;
　　Fragmentation of safety gasket: when placed horizontally, it is easy for liquid impurities or oil on the inner and bottom of the cylinder to contact the on-off valve, causing the valve to block and lose the normal flow control function, or lost due to the plastic gasket of the valve touching the liquid debris Stop leak function;
　　Safe pressure relief design: when the liquefied steel cylinder is stored, the liquid exists in the lower half, and the gas is in the upper half. To balance the internal pressure, when there is pressure relief, it should be discharged to the weakest pressure, so all cylinder valves are designed At the uppermost end, in case of failure or unexpected situation, the pressure can be released from the upper end without affecting the surrounding environment and the safety of the operating personnel.

Unexamined LPG cylinders are tantamount to bombs

　　It is understood that the service life of the general liquefied gas cylinders is 15 years, and the steel cylinders with a capacity of 15 kg and 5 kg must undergo a mandatory "physical examination" every 4 years, and the 50 kg steel cylinders need to be tested every 3 years. 　　The current safety hazards of liquefied gas cylinders are mainly due to overdue inspections and don’t sell them to individuals after they are scrapped. Many people have misunderstandings about liquefied gas cylinders. Some citizens once stored scrapped steel cylinders at home or sold them to private individuals to allow scrapped cylinders to continue to circulate in the market, which are likely to cause safety accidents. The quality inspector said that many people think that they have run out of liquefied gas, or open the valve to release the gas, and there is no liquefied gas in it. This view is not correct. Scrapped steel cylinders are deflated by special tools in the laboratory, and there will stil...

The price of LPG in North China rose by 415 yuan/ton! Analysts predict that the price is difficult to break 2991 yuan

 　　As of August 6, 2020, the average price of LPG in North China was 2,991 yuan/ton, an increase of 415 yuan/ton or 16.11% from the beginning of July. It can be seen from this that since entering the third quarter, the North China LNG market has changed from a weak consolidation in the second quarter, with a larger price increase and a significant increase in the average price level. 　　Behind the positive upward trend of the market, it is inseparable from multiple favorable guidance. Looking at the news, the overall oil price fluctuates at a high level, with less volatility, and the industry's mentality is relatively strong, and the enthusiasm for entering the market is acceptable. From the perspective of supply and demand, the slow terminal consumption is still constrained by seasonal demand in the off-season. However, Xinhai in the region will suspend maintenance around July 15 and the maintenance period will last for nearly one month. The failure of the Luoyang installation cau...
