Dangers of Hydrogen Cylinders
Hydrogen cylinders contain up to 9000L compressed gas
Enough gas to cause a significant explosion or fire
Hydrogen gas can ‘auto-ignite’ if released quickly enough
Hydrogen gas is flammable at concentrations between 4.1% (lower
explosion level) and 78% (upper explosion level)
A number of accidents caused by hydrogen have occurred in
laboratories
