Gas Cylinder Storage Racks, Stands, and Hand Trucks Minimize your risk for accidents with proper training, and always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for information on the gases you will be using. Mishandling compressed gas cylinders – which can have an internal pressure of up to 2,500 pounds per square inch – can be disastrous. Dropping, tipping over or exposing a cylinder to heat can cause weaknesses or cracks in the cylinder’s shell, which can result in a shrapnel-laden explosion, according to the American Welding Society.
