We want to draw attention to the necessity of using appropriate gas equipment as required by relevant regulations and laws. The introduction of higher pressure cylinders necessitates the use of new regulators, the cost of which is quickly compensated by the extended operation of the cylinders and simplifies warehouse management. The use of regulators, torch and regulator safety devices is mandated by the Regulation of the Minister of Economy of April 27, 2000, on occupational safety and health conditions during welding work (Journal of Laws 2000 No. 40 item 470):
§ 21. In every case of supplying welding equipment with gas taken from a source where the gas pressure is variable or greater than the nominal pressure of the consumer, a pressure regulator must be applied at the point of drawing.
§ 23.1. In the case of supplying welding equipment with flammable gas taken from a cylinder battery, cylinder bundle, gas generator, or pipeline, a safety device should be applied at each gas drawing point.
§ 23.2. In the case of supplying oxy-gas torches with gases taken from cylinders, safety devices should be located at the entry or inside the torch. This requirement does not apply to the cutting oxygen lines in torches designed for cutting.
§ 24. Safety devices should be used in accordance with their purpose, type of gas, and nominal pressure and flow values.
