How to Correctly Choose a Reliable Forklift LPG Cylinder Manufacturer
LPG is a clean, efficient and environmentally friendly fuel that has been widely used in various types of forklifts. The forklifts LPG cylinder is a pressure vessel specially used to store and supply liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) required by forklifts. The main function of the forklift LPG gas cylinder is to store LPG and supply it to the forklift engine for combustion through the corresponding system to drive the vehicle. The gas cylinder is made of special steel plates. Because the steel has good strength and pressure resistance, it can ensure that the gas cylinder can be used safely when the vehicle is moving and can withstand high-pressure liquefied petroleum gas. Steel gas cylinders also have a long service life and good corrosion resistance.
Manufacturing forklift LPG cylinders requires strict process flow and quality control. First, according to the design requirements, appropriate materials are selected for processing and forming, and advanced welding and heat treatment processes are used to ensure the weld quality and sealing of the gas cylinder. After manufacturing is completed, the cylinders need to undergo strict quality inspection and testing to ensure that the gas cylinders comply with the safety standards and specifications of various countries.
Customers can choose the appropriate gas cylinder model size according to the needs of the vehicle. Different types of forklifts require gas cylinders with different capacity. Generally speaking, small forklifts usually choose smaller capacity gas cylinders, while large commercial forklifts require larger capacity gas cylinders to meet their long-term operation needs. Common specifications of forklift LPG cylinders include 35L, 40L, 45L, and 50L on water capacity, which can be filled with LPG of 14kg, 16kg, 18kg, and 20kg respectively.
| Nominal Diameter(mm) | Nominal Water Capacity(L) | Nominal Working Pressure(MPa) | Wall Thickness(mm) | Height(mm) | Hydraulic Test(MPa) | Leakage Test(MPa) | Filling Medium | Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 314 | 2.2 | 14 | 630 | 3.3 | LPG | HP295 | |
| 40 | 314 | 2.2 | 15 | 690 | 3.3 | LPG | HP295 | |
| 45 | 314 | 2.2 | 18 | 750 | 3.3 | LPG | HP295 | |
| 50 | 314 | 2.2 | 20 | 820 | 3.3 | LPG | HP295 |
Installing forklift LPG gas cylinders requires following certain requirements and standards to ensure safety and reliability. First, the cylinder should be installed by a certified professional technician to ensure proper connection and securement. Secondly, gas cylinders should be placed in designated areas of the forklift and appropriate protective measures should be taken to avoid collision and damage. In addition, the reasonable matching of the gas cylinder and other forklift components needs to be considered during the installation process to ensure overall balance and stability.
