Gas cylinder valve change for Air and Nitrogen compressed gases (2004)38. (2004)The Australian and New Zealand Industrial Gas Association (ANZIGA) has recommended changes to gas cylinder valves in compliance with the Australian Standard (AS2473). Your gas supply Company (eg. BOC, Linde Gas and Air Liquide Aust.) will shortly change the outlet connections on Air and Nitrogen gas cylinders. This means your existing regulators or hose connection will not fit the new outlet. Please see the ANZIGA and BOC documents for further information. The new cylinders will be supplied from 1 May 2004 for Air and 1 July 2004 for Nitrogen. Due to the number of nitrogen and air cylinders used on campus, the change of connections/regulators in your area may take some time. Of particular importance is the supply of air or nitrogen to control values and pneumatic systems influencing safety. Please consider this issue urgently as after the respective dates only the new valved cylinders will be supplied. Further information and conversion options are available from BOC.
