Full size cylinders must be stored in a gas cylinder cabinet while smaller cylinders, e.g., lecture bottles, can be stored in a chemical fume hood, a storage cabinet under the fume hood (if ventilated), or some other ventilated enclosure. No more than two small cylinders should be stored in single cabinet. When stored in a cabinet or hood, small cylinders must be positioned and secured so that they will not fall out and be fixed to a stationary object.

Toxic gas cylinders listed here must be kept in a continuously, mechanically ventilated enclosure. Additionally, all compressed gas cylinders having a NFPA Health Hazard Rating of 3 or 4 (e.g. ammonia, chlorine, phosgene) and those with a Health Hazard Rating of 2 but no physiological warning properties (e.g. carbon monoxide) must be kept in a gas cylinder cabinet. EHS can help you determine the Health Hazard Rating of your compressed gases.

Powerex instrument air systems meet NFPA 99 requirements and are designed to provide clean, oil-less air to hospitals and medical institutions.

Cylinders stored in gas cylinder cabinets or other ventilated enclosures must be secured at all times. Cylinders should be firmly secured at their center of gravity, not near the top or bottom.
