Can anyone help?? I want to transport Oxy and acetylene bottle interstate, and need some appropriate advice.I want to put the bottles in a 20' container. They are presently full. They will also be secured in the upright position with no chance of falling over. The container will be transported some 4000kms by rail, and I expect the container will get fairly hot inside. Can anyone advise me what the effect of heat will be from the inside of the container on the Oxy and acetylene? I have removed the regulators and secured the taps, but I am concerned about the heat from the inside of the container. Does anyone have experience with this? Please e-mail me at [email protected] . I am hoping to transport them this week (30th March 2006).Many Thanks,Barry

Reply:From my knowledge they would be considered hazordous cargo and must be marked as such, the cost is high to transport if they even will since 9/11. The only way you can ship them is empty.Why buy when you can build
Reply:Shippers here will not ship high pressure gasses full. You had better contact your shipper and explain what you have and make sure they are aware of it, otherwise, you may have liability for not completely disclosing the contents if something DOES happen.Smithboy...if it ain't broke, you ain't tryin'.
Reply:I agree with everyone else here. There a few restrictions on what a private individual can do when transporting such things but once you try to put them in/on a rail car there will be a whole world of difference. And a I doubt empty or full will make any difference either. There's no way to look at a bottle and tell if it is empty or full. It is a high pressure vessel and that is the way it will be treated.This is one of those times where it wont be the tanks that kill ya, it'll be the regulations. |
