Oil & Gas

Gas cylinders play a vital role in the oil and gas industry, providing a portable and convenient means of storing and transporting various gases and liquids that are essential for the industry’s operations. Here are some of the key uses of gas cylinders in the oil and gas sector:

• Welding and Cutting: Gas cylinders, particularly those containing acetylene and oxygen, are widely used for welding and cutting processes in the oil and gas industry. Acetylene is used as a fuel gas, and oxygen is used for combustion. These gases support the welding and cutting of metals, allowing for repairs, maintenance, and fabrication work on pipelines, platforms, and other equipment.
• Calibration and Testing: Precision is crucial in the oil and gas industry, and gas cylinders are used to supply calibration gases to test and calibrate instruments like gas detectors, analysers, and chromatographs. This ensures accurate measurements for safety and quality control.
• Hydrostatic Testing: Gas cylinders are also used for hydrostatic testing of pipelines, pressure vessels, and other equipment. This involves filling the equipment with water and pressurizing it using gas cylinders to check for leaks and structural integrity.
