In gas cylinder storage, what position should the cylinder be in to prevent liquefied product from escaping?

The correct position for gas cylinders in storage is upright. Storing cylinders in an upright position helps to ensure the safety of the storage area and the integrity of the gas containment. When a gas cylinder is upright, the valve is positioned at the top, allowing for proper access and control. It also minimizes the risk of the liquefied gas escaping because the liquid phase of the gas only remains at the bottom of the cylinder. If a cylinder were to be stored horizontally or upside down, it could facilitate the unintended release of the liquefied gas through the valve, which could create hazardous situations such as leaks or increased pressure. Therefore, maintaining the upright position helps to prevent any potential safety issues related to the escape of liquefied product and ensures that the cylinders remain stable and secure during storage.
