  2. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

    The term cylinder in this context is sometimes confused with tank, the latter being an open-top or vented container that stores liquids under gravity, though the term scuba tank is commonly used to refer to a compressed gas cylinder used for breathing gas supply to an underwater breathing apparatus.

  3. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

    Compressed natural gas vehicles require a greater amount of space for fuel storage than conventional petrol-powered vehicles. Since it is a compressed gas, rather than a liquid like petrol, CNG takes up more space for each GGE (petrol gallon equivalent). However, the cylinders used to store the CNG take up space in the trunk of a car or bed of ...

  4. Industrial gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_gas

    A gas compressor is used to compress the gas into storage pressure vessels (such as gas canisters, gas cylinders or tube trailers) through piping systems. Gas cylinders are by far the most common gas storage [29] and large numbers are produced at a "cylinder fill" facility. However, not all industrial gases are supplied in the gaseous phase.

    An assorted bundle of gas bottles at Duke University Butane gas cylinder A line of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders on a street in Kathmandu Delivery of liquefied petroleum gas cylinders in Hyderabad. Bottled gas is a term used for substances which are gaseous at standard temperature and pressure (STP) and have been compressed and stored in ...

  6. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

    Pneumatic cylinder, also known as air cylinder, is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion. [1]: 85 Like in a hydraulic cylinder, something forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops ...

  7. Cascade filling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_filling_system

    A cascade filling system is a high-pressure gas cylinder storage system that is used for the refilling of smaller compressed gas cylinders. [1] [2] In some applications, each of the large cylinders is filled by a compressor, otherwise they may be filled remotely and replaced when the pressure is too low for effective transfer. The cascade ...

  8. Standard cubic foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_cubic_foot

    This regulation defines a standard cubic foot, for compressed or liquefied gases in refillable cylinders other than LPG by, "A standard cubic foot of gas is defined as a cubic foot at a temperature of 21 °C (70 °F) and a pressure of 101.325 kilopascals [kPa] (14.696 psia)". [4]

  9. Compressed Gas Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_Gas_Association

    The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) is an American trade association for the industrial and medical gas supply industries. [2] The CGA publishes standards and practices that codify industry practices. In cases where government regulation is inspecific, CGA documents are considered authoritative.
