6-1.1
Agent Storage Cylinders
Agent storage cylinders are pressurized vessels containing the agent pressurized to 300
bar gauge at 15°C (4351 psig at 60°F) or 200 bar gauge at 15°C (2901 psig at 60°F).
This pressure causes considerable thrust if the discharge valve is actuated, thus, the
safety transport cap supplied with the cylinder must be installed when handling or storing
the cylinder, or whenever it is not securely fastened down. The safety transport cap
prevents objects from striking the burst disc valve, and reduces and redirects the thrust
if the cylinder is accidentally discharged.
Handle the cylinder carefully to prevent damaging the gauge and other attached fixtures. The
cylinder must not be subjected to temperatures above 122°F (50°C) nor be exposed to direct
sunlight, or the pressure relief device may operate, releasing the agent.
