What potential hazard is caused by tipping over an uncapped cylinder?
What potential hazard is caused by tipping over an uncapped cylinder?
The valve may break off
While it's possible for a cylinder to rupture and explode due to circumstances such as electrical arc strikes and intense heat, it's more likely for the valve to break off when a cylinder tips over. In this case, the real hazard is that the cylinder will rapidly expel highly pressurized gas and shoot around like a rocket.
