Disease Features explosion and rupture of gas cylinder
Absence or low individual and public risk
Explosion and rupture of gas cylinder - what does this mean
Explosion and rupture of gas cylinders occur when a gas cylinder is exposed to a heat source, such as an open flame, that is hotter than the gas cylinder's maximum temperature rating. this can cause the cylinder to overheat, leading to a build-up of pressure and an eventual rupture of the cylinder, resulting in a powerful explosion.
What happens during the disease - explosion and rupture of gas cylinder
Explosion and rupture of gas cylinders is usually caused by a build up of pressure within the cylinder due to a rapid increase in temperature. this increase in temperature can be caused by an external source such as a fire, or an internal source such as a chemical reaction caused by a leak in the cylinder. the resulting pressure increase can cause the cylinder to rupture, leading to an explosion and the release of the contents of the cylinder.
