Gas Cylinder Manifolds

If you think about it, most of the gases are toxic, flammable, corrosive, or often a combination of these. Other gases constitute a different hazard-such as asphyxiation, anesthesia or, simply, pressure. For some customer installations, a simple pressure regulator or control valve will not suffice, for example:

• Where the gas, for physical considerations of space or location, must be stored in an area remote from point of use.
• Where two or more cylinders are coupled together for high flow-rates.
• Where a regular purge cycle is required between gas uses or at cylinder change-over.
• Where safety considerations with a toxic or flammable gas require that equipment and/or pipelines containing that gas should be totally isolated from the working environment.
• Where gas flow, pressure or temperature requirements are such that a very sophisticated means of gas control is required, especially in bulk gas installations.
• In this there is clearly a need for a specialist designed Gas Distribution System.
