How Gas Cylinders Are Made? (Mega Factories Video)

If you are wondering how gas or propane cylinders are made, the ones we use in our kitchen or at work place you have come to the right video to learn exactly the same. In this video we go step by step in the process of how gas cylinders are manufactured and the different steps involved.
A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High-pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid, supercritical fluid, or dissolved in a substrate material, depending on the physical characteristics of the contents. A typical gas cylinder design is elongated, standing upright on a flattened bottom end, with the valve and fitting at the top for connecting to the receiving apparatus.The whole manufacturing process consists of the following steps:
1. Blanking & Body Forming
2. Valve Guard Ring & Foot Ring Production
3. Valve Neck (Valve Boss or Neck Ring) Production
4. Welding, Heat Treatment and Hydrostatic Testing
5. Surface Coating
6. Finishing Line with Pneumatic Testing
7. Valve Production
LPG Cylinder Production is composed of several sheet metal forming, surface treatment and testing processes. The process starts with blanking, deep drawing and piercing, trimming and joggling. Next are the welding operations for valve boss, valve guard ring, foot ring and the two halves. The finished cylinder is then heat treated, tested, shot blasted, painted and then the valve is attached and final tested.

We in the Netherlands still useing propane and butane cilinders produced in the 1950's these are just made as well. Verry nice modern factory.

[@jeanettewest]

This factory looks absolutely brand new, and the "workers" are moving rather stiffly. It seriously looks like a bunch of engineers are perfecting the processes and settings prior to handing it over to the owner and workers.

[@themachinist6578]

That is because Repkon does not make cylinders. They build plants that make cylinders.

[@sudhirtirkey3234]

My God! What an observation?

[@blackbear92201]

Very interesting video. I liked all the steps, but the furnace to release welding stresses was an interesting surprise. thanks for posting! :D

[@alexnelson7258]

Couldn't agree more!

[@johnuhr-henry9508]

I liked the Submerged Arc welding processes.Its been brilliant for 70 yrs. now.Remember it was in vogue wnen i served my Engineering Apprenticeship in the 1950`s/ 60`s when we made very big pipes and pressure vessels too.

[@engineeringworld.]

The jigsaw puzzles which we all solved right from our childhood days are manufactured with some great engineering behind them. Watch this exciting and informative video to learn more! Watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKrPdp-pd56Aoac

[@Textra62]

I liked the welding process in the assembly, this industrie is very very safe.

[@RichieCat4223]

No ear protection for workers. Factory looks top notch.

[@tyronnehartnett221]

Blanking at the beginning is really deep drawing of a deep drawing grade of metal.

[@thelmasmith2866]

It was interesting to watch how they melted, and welded the calinger back together.

[@HaHa-tb8bz]

Wow 🤯 baby kingDom 😍 love 😍

[@christianishimwe9736]

Hey all of those welding processes are really amaizing

[@chukwugozievictor9154]

Very very

[@WastaZameenSay]

Its great tutorial session. the most I liked is making hole in upper half to insert valve boss. I will be more interested in getting help to make a feasibility for installing such a set up for my prospective clients. Please do recommend a contact point for this if possible.

[@akkammapanicker56]

All processes was good

[@marcelomarquez2089]

This is what I was looking for! Thanks.

[@shafiekj1168]

I have not wondered how cylinders are made until now. 😂

[@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391]

4.42 wouldn't it be an idea to only have the welding start after the door is shut ? All you need is a switch on the door, like a chuck guard on a lathe. Interesting vid all the same, no swarf or fillings were made throughout the whole process

[@The_DuMont_Network]

There's no filling until the cylinder is finished and tested. There are, however, filings when metal is drilled or machined.

[@Alex-xh9kv]

I thought the same thing, a simple switch on the door jamb would do. An audio or visual indicator, both would be ideal, can alert the worker that the welding is done.

[@donalfinn4205]

Liked the welding!👍☘️

[@michaelt.m.n6689]

[@chukwugozievictor9154]

Everything about the processes is highly interesting, oyibo una too much

[@michaelrief4424]

I’m watching your videos and I like them but I would also like to know where the factory was located.

[@ivry4846]

Balibey, Fabrika Sk. No:1, 34980 Şile/İstanbul, Turkey

[@jackcollier929]

Liked it all!

[@velaphitshabalala2912]

More than anything I'm happy to see so many people employed instead of machines. Most of these processes can easily be done by robots. Big up to the company.

[@maroof101mb]

Wow now I know!

[@sayampatwa4895]

Amazing

[@RR3-buoy]

I love welding process

[@Amir-ob2ft]

Stress Releveing was best

[@padiyar]

This should be in plant in lran or gulf ?

[@darkspace3316]

Great video! I am Sixth!

[@astrixistheman]

No hearing protection or safety glasses in sight...

[@engineeringworld.]

Good observation. According to you what all necessary PPE should be used for working in such an environment?

[@astrixistheman]

@@engineeringworld. Not sure quite what you mean lol, but some hearing protection would be good for them, unless the mic makes it louder. Some probly could use saftey glasses some places. Here in AUS my work place gives out free gloves, muffs, eyeglasses and stuff. I did also see some workers using some rags to pick the hot bottels up, witch call me over portective but heat gloves might be better because a rag could get snaged in moving equipment.

[@singinghobbit1219]

@@engineeringworld. Seconding what NASA the Potato said. My former workplace (in the US) had really similar machines for metal fab that involved cutting, forming/rolling, arc welding, blasting & painting. Basically all what's in the video. Anyone cutting, shaping, or welding needed full-body protection like coveralls (saw guys in the video just wearing short-sleeve T-shirts). Plus gloves, foam-lined safety glasses, hard hat, saftey boots, and earmuffs/earplugs. There was some welding by hand and that required the full face shield too. Even just for engineers/managers/visitors to walk through, everything but the coveralls and gloves were required for them too. Anyone in blasting and painting shops wore the white flame retardant coveralls (look a bit like hazmat suits) and respirator/dust mask with R95 filter. Off-limits to anyone without the equipment while work was in progress.

[@singinghobbit1219]

Honestly my biggest concern is the hearing protection. Even if the camera mic is making it seem louder in there, prolonged noise even at lower levels will definitely cause hearing damage. Even just having a desk next to a busy office printer for a year can permanently damage your hearing (seriously). Second concern is the painter without a fully sealed face mask & respirator. The paint particles and fumes are very bad for the eyes and lungs. The environment in this video is much more automated and machine-controlled than the one I worked in, and the finished products are a lot smaller. So their needs are going to be different and not everything I listed is necessary.

[@tonywright8294]

Have you ever been in a factory ? This is paradise compared to other factory’s so quiet and clean .

[@TheDustysix]

What is the dry inerting powder?

[@sudhirtirkey3234]

Semi automatic plant. Why extra 2 people to lift and place stampings for arc welding, manually, after trimming? Submerged Arc Welding of the neck was very good.

[@davidh.andreotta94]

Very few are wearing safety glasses.

[@MrJitendra007]

That's not a Blanking its called Deep drawing....

[@bismillahbismillah9209]

Thanx for making this video.

[@deannaspencer8988]

All Stores Please Lower the cost of all Military and Local for all Brands of Gas Cylinder Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏

[@MrLESRAJ]

Why not painted the inside of the cylinder, thanks.

[@pierrejacquelinet3399]

En 1975, j'ai été invité par VALLOUREC dans le nord de la France pour visiter une de leurs usines, et peut-être racheter une de leurs machines à transfert qui fabriquait des bouteilles de GPL 13 kg sans autre intervention humaine que son approvisionnement en tôle d'acier et bossages de robinets. Qu'est devenue cette machine? Car à l'époque, nous ne l'avons pas achetée...

[@petrvaclavek3605]

1200 °C for brass forging??? that would be liquid

[@alainmare8081]

Fusion point of brass is 932 * C. So stamping process should be around 650* C to 700* C. Probably mistake between Fahrenheit and Celsius, 1200 F = 634* C.Repkon is a Turkish company selling turkey projects to different industries sectors.

[@johnqueen2754]

I bet the people at the gas tank place are always under a lot of pressure to get there job done right!!!

[@tonywright8294]

Ha ha 😂

[@oz93666]

my training in metallurgy tells me they don't need putting in a furnace 6:21 to "relieve stresses from welding" ..overkill and a huge waste of energy .. these are very low pressure cylinders.

[@daveytn]

What's the black powder for welding?!

[@tomhoitink1808]

The black powder is like the flux coating on stick welding rods. it protects the puddle and leaves slag like with stick welding. its called submerged arc welding SMAW ( in Dutch: Onder poederdek lassen (OP))

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Be grateful if you aren’t a robot like these people, some jobs need to be fully automated and remove the drudgery of repetition these guys go through. That’s got to get boring real quick.

[@pratapgupta6650]

Depends upon the life of a tower. I wonder the last fo 50 to 100 years?

[@petermcgreevy6386]

the noise there was pretty high and no workers were wearing Hearing protection as far a s I could see, later in life the hearing loss is more evident.

[@636rahul]

Second ! xD

[@geminiprod.0]

What would we do without machines

[@Alex-xh9kv]

Get less done, with less safety, quality, & more costly. In short, life would be much harder.

[@jmservice3989]

Where are all the safety glasses?

There is a copy of this factory in Iraq for the same company - a very failed factory and the amount of scrap is much more than the amount of good production

[@blingbling574]

Labour must be cheap, this little plant is Mickey Mouse.

[@ikvangalen6101]

Nice! No headwear, ear and eye protection! Workers are being cornered with “ safety” rules, up to a sickening level! I’ve worked in places where you’d get sent away for good if you would come down a flight of stairs and not holding the rail with both hands! Rediculous!
