DANGEROUS GOODS?

All the pressurized cylinders used in the fire

protection industry are classified as Dangerous
Goods (Class 2.2)
Non-flammable, non-toxic gas)
When moving containers in a vehicle around site
the driver must be provided with an MSDS

6
REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS

 Caps.

 Stillage's / Pallets.

 Open Truck / Ventilated vehicle.

 Driver separation.

 Secure load.

 Weight limit.

ROAD TRANSPORT THINK TWICE! BEFORE CARRYING GAS CYLINDERS IN ENCLOSED VEHICLE

MOVING CYLINDERS - GENERAL RULES

Never assume a cylinder is empty, treat all cylinders as if they

are fully pressurised.

Never install, maintain, modify or repair compressed gas

systems without a permit to work system or clear detailed safety control
methods in place.

Transport: All transportation of cylinders shall only be undertaken when

The cylinder(s) are secured and fitted with approved valve assembly
protection.

Valve Protection: All cylinders to be secured in a manner to ensure that

the valve assembly is protected from damage.
10

10
CYLINDER TYPES

Inert gas cylinders

 Higher pressures
 Tall and heavy.

Chemical gas cylinders

 Less pressure
 Shorter and wider

Serious and fatal injuries can result from failures to follow correct
handling procedures.

MOVING CYLINDERS

 Always use a cylinder trolley that is

designed for the job.
 Is it suitable to take the load?
 Has trolley been load tested, ask for
certificate?
 Check condition i.e. wheels are not loose
or buckled?
 Ensure cylinder is secured on trolley by
tightening the securing straps or metal
brackets.

 Never try to lift a cylinder

13

13
MOVING CYLINDERS

Whenever moving cylinders carry out a spot risk assessment

think L.I.T.E;

(Load - Individual - Task – Environment)

 Moving of an upright single cylinder tilted on it’s base, “dollying/spinning”, should be
performed with care and only for short distances.
 If floor surface is slippery use some non-slip material on floor when manually moving
cylinder from trolley into install position.
 Do not roll or drag gas cylinders.
 If floor surface is slippery use some non-slip material on floor to manually move
cylinder from bank onto trolley.
 Is the floor surface newly painted? Place some cardboard on floor to avoid black
marks from the movement of the trolley.

14

14
WHAT IS WRONG?

 No trolleys
 No PPE
 Cylinders were not
stored securely in
cages or laying down
on pallets
 Cylinders not protected
from the weather

Flow splits at tee junctions are sensitive to gravity. Even though turbulent flow exists,
there is a tendency for the vapour phase to migrate to the upper portion of the pipe
leaving a more dense medium at the bottom of the pipe. For this reason, the
following limitations must be observed and see above figure.
Bull head tees must have both outlets in the horizontal plane. The inlet to a bull head
tee may approach in a horizontal, vertically up or vertically down direction.
Side tees must have the inlet and both outlets all in the horizontal plane.
Elbows before tee splits going to separate hazards must be located a minimum
distance of 15 pipe diameters (nominal) before the tee splits.
Tee splits going to separate hazards from a common supply line must be spaced a
minimum of 15 pipe diameters (nominal) apart.
Pipe reducers before tee splits must be located a minimum of 15 pipe diameters
(nominal) before the tee splits. Pipe reducers must be of the concentric reducer type,
due to the calculation of FM200 turbulent flow characteristics and agent losses that
could be generated by the use bushes.
Minimum flow out of a side tee branch is 10% of total flow at the tee.
For flow splits less than 30%, the split shall be done through a side tee with the
smaller flow going through the side tee member. The minimum flow through the side
tee member is 10%. The maximum flow through the tee is 90%.
For flow splits equal to or greater than 30%, the split shall be done through a bull
head tee. The maximum flow split through a bull head tee is 70%.
NOTE: Where there is a change in elevation or another tee following a tee, the length
of section between the tee and the change in elevation/second tee must be a
MINIMUM of fifteen (15) times the nominal pipe diameter of the section.

Pipe-work verification

Leak test pipe-work - This is not a pressure test!!!!

Plug all nozzle outlets – one with a ball valve

Connect air compressor outlet and generate 3bar(g) on pipe-work.

Disconnect compressor and check that the pressure does not

decrease more than 20% (2.4bar(g)) over 10 mins.

• Blow-through test;
– Plug all nozzle outlets – one with a ball valve at end
of pipe run
– Connect air compressor outlet and generate
3bar(g) on pipe-work.
– Release pressure via ball valve 10 mins
– Move ball valve to next nozzle location and repeat
for every nozzle at end of pipe run.

132

132
Nozzles

After pipe work has been leak tested and blown through, the nozzles can be
fitted.
After the as-built drawings have been re-calculated, the nozzles may need
changing
Changes in pipe routes from original design, can lead to changes in pressure
drop and hence agent flow. This can be rectified by changes in nozzle orifice
size.
Ensure the correct nozzle (size and type e.g.180 or 360°) are fitted to the
each location.
