This publication documents the minimum requirements for the safe preparation of compressed oxidant-fuel gas mixtures in cylinders by static methods (addition of one component after another in cylinders). The publication specifically addresses:
- key principles for compressed oxidant-fuel gas mixture manufacture;
- manufacturing feasibility studies;
- gas mixing equipment, filling, and analysis; and
- the audit of oxidant-fuel gas mixture manufacturing procedures and operations.
This publication specifically describes the manufacture of compressed oxidant-fuel gas mixtures under the conditions of gas temperatures and pressures detailed within this publication. The manufacture of liquefied and liquid oxidant-fuel gas mixtures is outside of the scope of this publication.
This publication shall be used in conjunction with the information and principles contained in CGA P-36, The Safe Preparation of Gas Mixtures.
