• Regarding the storage check your fire code for guidelines of flammable Gas Cylinders Manufacturers in India.
• Store cylinders in a clearly identified, dry, well ventilated storage area that is not exposed to direct rays of heat or sun, and away from doors, corridors, elevators, and stairs.
• Post a "no smoking" signs in the area.
• Store cylinders, both empty and full, in the upright position and secured with an insulated chain or non-conductive belt.

• Prevent the cylinder from falling. Use a chain or adequate support system. Consider removing each cylinder separately to prevent the other cylinder from falling when items are removed from storage.
• Gas Cylinders Manufacturers in India Store the oxygen cylinder and fuel gas cylinder separately. Indoors, separate oxygen from fuel gas cylinders from a wall at least 6.1 m (20 ft) or at least 1.5 m (5 ft) high with a fire resistance of at least 1.5 hours. (CSA W117.2-12 (R-2017) "Safety in welding, cutting and allied processes"
• Cylinders should also be separated from flammable and combustible liquids and from materials that ignite easily (such as wood, paper, oil, grease, etc.) in accordance with similar requirements to oxygen cylinders (6.1 m, or fire. On the wall is 1.5 meters high. With hourly fire resistance).
