CGA G-1.9 – Recommended Practices for Maintaining the Proper Solvent Level in Acetylene Cylinders
CGA G-1.9 covers recommendations for maintaining the proper solvent level in acetylene cylinders. While the background, precautions, and general procedures given apply to all solvents in use with acetylene, special emphasis is given to the use of acetone and dimethylformamide (DMF).
Included are residual gas tables based upon the best available data that reflects current industry practice. The expected accuracy of these values is approximately ? 10%, and should be used as a guide only.
