P-97: Guideline for the Safe Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Cylinders (Formerly S-8)

Abstract

The safe, proper function and use of an LPG cylinder with a CG-7 PRV is dependent upon several variables. These variables include but are not limited to items such as:
• adequate and proper training of all employees who handle cylinder gas products;
• proper filling procedures;
• proper handling, selection, maintenance, and replacement of the CG-7 PRV;
• proper storage and handling; and
• type and location of other devices on the cylinder or valve body.

The purpose of this publication is to provide:
• Reference material and guidelines to personnel who fill, store, distribute, inspect, maintain, or requalify LPG cylinders and to ensure compliance with applicable safety and regulatory requirements; and
• Information on proper selection, handling, and maintenance of cylinder valves and the CG-7 PRV. This information is limited to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and Transport Canada (TC) refillable cylinder designs.

For the purposes of this publication, LPG includes but is not limited to butane, commercial propane, propylene, and mixtures of these products.
