LPG Cylinder Disposal Procedures
Cylinders considered unsuitable for further service must be gas freed and destroyed using a procedure that will ensure that the cylinder is not subsequently repaired and used again as a pressure vessel.
Occasionally evidence appears of scrapped cylinders from one country being illicitly exported to another country where they are then put back into the market.
The risk of an incident with the cylinder is high in these circumstances because not only is the cylinder 'out of test' but the likelihood of it being properly requalified is probably low.
The report also included industrial/commercial three piece cylinders such as the Japanese ones.
