RECOVERY CYLINDER SAFETY

8.1 Recovery Cylinders are tested to specific requirements to ensure that they will be safe
during the transportation process. These requirements ensure the safety of the cylinder
when it is filled to an appropriate level and when it is exposed to elevated temperatures,
as in a truck or on a hot day outside.
8.2 However, a cylinder that is overfilled may still be unsafe, even though the rating is
acceptable for the particular refrigerant. It is therefore extremely important, as noted in
Sections 1 and 3 of this Manual, to ensure that the cylinder is not overfilled.
8.3 The cylinder must not be filled beyond 80% of its capacity. If a scale is to be
used, this weight can be determined by taking 80% of the Water Capacity (WC) weight
that is marked on the cylinder and adding that to the Tare Weight (TW) of the cylinder.
The TW is also marked on the cylinder.
8.4 If the cylinder is partially filled and the TW is unknown, then the following
MAXIMUM TOTAL weights should be used for the recovery process using the weigh
scale:
22 Kg Cylinder - Fill to 28Kg, Total Maximum Weight
65 Kg Cylinder - Fill to 75Kg Total Maximum Weight
