Scope and purpose
This publication provides guidance to help prevent and detect internal corrosion of compressed gas cylinders and tubes. It applies to gas cylinders, bundles of cylinders, and tubes including installations at customer sites.
NOTE-Unless noted by exception, the use of the word "cylinder" in this publication refers to both cylinders and tubes.
The main emphasis of this publication focuses on steel cylinders containing oxygen/oxygen mixtures including compressed air and carbon dioxide/carbon dioxide mixtures in the presence of moisture. Certain aspects of this publication can also apply to other gases that can react in the presence of moisture such as hydrogen chloride.
