Pressurised fluid cylinders

摘要

A gas cylinder (100) in the neck (20) of which is installed a balanced valve (26). The valve is fitted in the outlet of the cylinder and its output emerges into a recess (22) which opens to the top surface (23) of the cylinder. Thus the valve is protected from physical damage. A thread (27) in the bore enables the attachment of fittings such as a regulator or a filling device (not shown) which cooperate with the valve (26) to control passage of gas from or into the cylinder.
