How to cut an oxygen cylinder angle grinder

Gas receiver cutting

After the vessel is well rinsed, you can start cutting. This stage is also required to be carried out with water, since there are still residues of condensate absorbed into the walls in the cylinder. For this, the balloon is completely filled with water. Cutting is carried out in two positions:

  • Horizontal cutting

It allows you to cut off parts of the vessel according to the previously made markings, which are made using a cord and chalk. This method is convenient in that when cutting, the balloon is easy to roll, thereby preventing the liquid inside from flowing out for the maximum amount of time.

Cutting the container horizontally

  • Vertical cutting

Also often used in such works. For this, the vessel is filled with water and a cut is made in the place where the cut will be made. Then the angle grinder is removed.

It is necessary to wait for the moment when excess water drains down to the cut level. After that, an incision is made along the entire diameter of the vessel. This method is convenient in that it is required to move independently as the cut is extended, and the vessel is securely fixed, since it will be filled with water.

Important! The choice of the cutting position depends on how the operation will be carried out in the future, that is, how the vessel lid will be cut.

How to cut a balloon safely

Since a gas cylinder is explosive, there is a high risk of exploding when cutting. It is necessary to do the sawing procedure with great care with certain requirements.

Since the vessel is designed to transport liquefied gas, the rest of its contents are a liquid called condensate. This substance has a specific odor and a high degree of flammability. Therefore, you can’t just start cutting the container with an angle grinder.

First, you need to remove the condensate, and for this you need to get rid of the remaining gas in the cylinder.

In this position, the remaining gas is drained from the condensate cylinder.

Important! The procedure for pouring out condensate should not be carried out at home, but in advance to choose a place where there will be no people. First, you need to dig a hole in the ground to the depth of one shovel bayonet. After that, pour out the condensate and set it on fire, moving away to a safe distance with the cylinder. After the end of the burning, the hole must be buried.

During long-term operation, the gas that is transported in the container eats into the walls, therefore, even after the condensate has been drained, it is prohibited to cut it. It needs to be rinsed with running water and detergents. But, even after such a reception, the likelihood of fire is very high.

To start cutting a vessel, it is necessary to build a system of constant water supply to it, and start work only after the container is filled with water.

Cutting an Oxygen Cylinder

Gas cylinder flushing

To avoid ignition of residual gases, it is necessary to flush the cylinder. Basically, this is water with detergent or washing powder. But it is very difficult to achieve great efficiency with such flushing, since each time it is necessary to fill and pour out the cylinder.

Some craftsmen use a rather interesting method that helps to get rid of the smell by almost 90%. Its essence is as follows.

Water and detergent are poured into the vessel, approximately 20 liters per bottle. Then sand 5-6 kg is poured inside. It can be different, its type does not matter. Then the cylinder is closed with the same valve that was unscrewed earlier.

In this position, water is drawn into the tank for flushing.

In this state, the cylinder can be rolled on the road or in your own area in order to achieve a large beating of sand particles inside the vessel.

Some do-it-yourselfers build a frame on which the bearings are located. They are positioned in such a way that the balloon can fit on them and rotate arbitrarily. Thanks to this device, the container can be twisted in place at high speed, which gives the maximum effect.

Important! Flushing in this way helps to increase safety when cutting the vessel.

Rules to be followed during cutting

When cutting, be aware of your personal protective equipment to protect your body and eyes from sparks. Therefore, a mandatory rule is the use of glasses and a respirator when working.

To cut the container, it is necessary to use discs with a cutting thickness of 2.5-3 mm. A thick cut will help to avoid pinching the blade during work, which adds to the safety of the work being done. Thin-kerf discs are not cost-effective to use as they wear out quickly.

A drill is additionally used to make round holes. In this case, all the recommendations on how to safely cut the gas cylinders of the angle grinder are followed in the same order.

Important! Drilling an empty vessel is strictly prohibited. If using an angle grinder, it should be filled with water.

Removing the cylinder valve

A valve in a gas tank is a shut-off valve that is installed in a vessel to store gas and prevent it from leaking out. In this device, right-hand and left-hand threads are provided in the outlet.

For reference! Right-hand threaded shut-off valves are used for containers that are redesignated for the storage of non-combustible materials. Left-hand thread used especially for explosive gases.

This is done to protect against unqualified connection of cylinders with different gases inside them.

To unscrew the shut-off valve assembly, it is required to secure the cylinder in a stationary state. Since the vessel has large dimensions, for this you need to build a special device, which is a clamp for round billets of large diameter on a horizontal plane. These are coasters made of 50 mm thick boards with a semicircular cut.

At one end of the board, a fastener is made for a tension belt. With the help of the clamping mechanism of the transport belt, the cylinder with the board is fastened, which makes it possible to have a large stop. The shut-off valves are wrapped with a pipe wrench, second or third size.

Unscrewing the valve with a pipe wrench

Also, for such work, you can use a locksmith vice, clamping the shoe of the vessel. This option is not very convenient, since the crane will be at a high altitude. In some cases, the balloon can simply be welded onto something. For example, to an iron pillar. The whole point is for the balloon to be dead fixed.

Once the vessel is securely fixed, with the help of a large lever, the shut-off valve will easily scroll along the thread cut in the cylinder.

Step-by-step instructions for disassembling a gas cylinder

The theoretical knowledge of how to safely cut a gas cylinder of an angle grinder is not enough to start cutting. It is necessary to carry out preparatory work, as well as prepare a tool that will be needed in the process of carrying out all the work.

How to safely cut gas cylinders with an angle grinder

When designing homemade homemade products, you always need a material that is better in quality than that presented on rolled metal. Craftsmen pre-select recyclable materials that can be reused at home for many reasons. One example is an unusable gas cylinder. Many useful things can be made from it, since the quality of the metal is much higher than what is on sale. In addition, knowing how to cut the gas cylinder of an angle grinder safely, you can get the required workpiece with the required dimensions at a price that is significantly lower than new sheet rolling.

Standard gas cylinder made by industry

A set of tools for work

To cut a propane cylinder, you need tools, without which it will be impossible to do this.

  • angle grinder (angle grinder).
  • Cut-off discs with a diameter that allows the installation of an angle grinder.
  • Drill.
  • Drill. The first small diameter drill is for initial drilling, the second is for widening the hole. Diameters can be arbitrary.
  • Metal brush.
  • Cord with chalk to mark straight lines.
  • Pipe wrench size 2 or 3.
  • For personal protection you will need gloves, goggles, a respirator.

How to properly and safely cut an old gas cylinder

If your old propane or oxygen cylinder has fallen into disrepair, and it is a pity to throw it away, you can try using it in a subsidiary farm. The body can serve as a good blank for a stove, smokehouse, barbecue, water tank. Before that, it must be freed of gas residues and cut correctly. To do this, you need to follow a certain procedure.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide cylinders do not pose any problems. after bleeding off the remaining gas, these are ordinary pieces of iron, which are calmly cut by an angle grinder without any preliminary preparations. With propane, it’s already a little more complicated, and the question often arises: how to cut a gas cylinder of an angle grinder? Even with the valve fully open, all the gas will not escape, and the remaining amount will be enough for a small explosion or fire. Therefore, the cylinder must be prepared in advance. For this we need the following tools:

  • Open-end or gas valve wrench.
  • Hacksaw for metal.
  • Funnel, watering hose, buckets or other source of water.
  • angle grinder with different disc thicknesses and safety goggles.

After that, you can start working. We perform all actions in strict sequence to avoid undesirable consequences.

  • We completely bleed the gas by opening the valve. It is strictly forbidden to be near the outgoing jet at this moment. In addition to the fire hazard, all clothing can smell of gas. We check the presence of pressure in the cylinder using a soapy solution, soaping the valve and watching for bubbles.
  • After that, you can start unscrewing the valve. Next steps: carefully remove the pins securing the valve and try to unscrew with a key. On old cylinders, this is not always possible, but if we are lucky, a hole with a diameter of 6 mm will open to us. If the valve does not lend itself, then we simply cut it off with a hacksaw for metal. It is advisable that at this moment someone supply you with water to the place of the cut, or simply direct the jet from the hose. This is necessary to prevent the formation of sparks.
  • Now you can fill the bottle with water through the hole obtained using a funnel or a thin hose. This is called degassing. Water is heavier than any gas, so it displaces residues and dissolves condensate. The resulting gasoline solution is non-flammable and can be safely drained.
  • It is better to drain the water not near the house, but somewhere in the landfill because of the strong and persistent smell of gas. If the valve did not cut off, and the filling went through a small hole, you can supply compressed air to the cylinder to speed up the process. It will create excess pressure and the liquid will flow out in a good stream.
  • Now that most of the liquid has been drained, you can start marking and cutting the balloon. Most often, cutting is done along the welded seams, but for an individual project, you can cut in any direction. The average wall thickness is 3–4 mm, and at the joints 5–6 mm. Any angle grinder can handle this thickness without any problems. To facilitate the work, you can first walk through the cut with a 1.6 mm thick disc, and finally saw through with a thinner disc. This prevents the disc from getting stuck at the exit and breaking it, which could lead to injury. In addition, this cutting method is more economical and faster. During work, do not forget about protective equipment.
  • Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the connecting ring between the straight and convex part. To do this, the ring itself is cut by an angle grinder in one place, and then it is cut down with a hammer and chisel.
  • The cylinder stand at the bottom is removed as follows. the angle grinder slightly notches the weld seam, usually it is secured with dots, while being careful not to damage the cylinder itself. Then the ring is knocked out with a hammer and chisel, the remnants of welding are cleaned.
  • If, after opening the cylinder, a strong smell of gas remains inside, it will need to be burned from the inside with a gas torch or blowtorch. After that, the cylinder body becomes absolutely harmless and can be used in everyday life.

The most difficult operation is over, now it is necessary to remove the old paint and rust. A flap emery attachment for the same angle grinder works well for this. Now the blank from the cylinder is ready for further priming and painting.

In this way, you can easily, and most importantly, safely cut gas cylinders of any size and type, with the exception of acetylene cylinders, consisting of a special filler.

Required tools and materials:

  • Empty propane gas cylinder
  • Hacksaw for metal
  • Funnel and water bucket or garden hose
  • Empty plastic bottle
  • angle grinder and face shield for angle grinder

How to cut an angle grinder an old gas cylinder

Sometimes it is necessary to cut open an old gas cylinder in order to use it with benefit on the farm. For example, a cut gas cylinder can be used as a water reservoir in an autonomous heating system. Due to the design features, the cut cylinder is convenient for lighting a fire in it, it can serve as a hearth for a forge.

There are rules for cutting containers in which flammable materials were stored. This article, in particular, will tell you how to cut an old propane gas cylinder.

Work order

  • Open the cylinder valve as far as it will go and make sure there is no gas left in it. If there is no sound of escaping gas, it is necessary to soap the valve outlet, check that all the gas has escaped.
  • Lay the bottle on its side.
  • Take a hacksaw for metal.
  • Begin to cut the brass valve of the cylinder “under the root”. Brass is easy enough to saw with a hacksaw for metal.
  • Use a friend’s help: while sawing off the valve, a second person should pour water into the sawing site from a plastic bottle or watering hose in order to prevent sparks.
  • Having cut the valve, fill the bottle with water. To do this, you can use a bucket (pour water through a funnel) or a long garden hose. Fill the balloon to the top.
  • As the cylinder is filled, shake it to flush the condensate from the walls.
  • After filling the cylinder, you can drain the water, but not near the house, but somewhere near the landfill, since the drained water sometimes emits a strong propane smell, which does not disappear for several days.
  • After all the actions taken, the cylinder is sawn by the angle grinder. The thickness of the metal is about 3 mm. So sawing shouldn’t be a problem for you.

This is a standard cutting technique for containers that have held combustible materials. Personally, several cylinders have already been cut by this method.

To carry out the work in question, a certain set of tools is required. Typically, cutting is done with an angle grinder. Other required tools are as follows:

  • Gas and open-end wrench for operating the valve. In order to remove all gas from the container, open the valve completely.
  • A hacksaw for metal is also used for cutting, for example, in the case of cutting a neck. It is worth paying attention to the correct choice of a suitable cutting blade, as too soft metal leads to rapid grinding of the teeth.
  • Water is used to clean the surface. It is usually poured into a container.

When working with an angle grinder, be careful as the wheel comes into contact with a small area. In addition, protective goggles should be used at the time of cutting, as a large number of fragments and combustible abrasives are formed.

Gas Cylinder Cutting Angle Grinder

For an angle grinder, it is important to choose the most suitable wheel. This is because the inappropriate abrasive wheel can quickly grind off. Before each cutting, check the integrity of the nozzle, its secure attachment. Cutting without protective cover is not allowed.

Examples of using cut gas cylinders

Parts of the balloon can be used for a wide variety of purposes. Examples include the following cases:

  • Furnace body.
  • Liquid storage tanks.
  • Mangala.
  • Smoking.

Gas cylinder oven

The scope is extensive, but it should be borne in mind that the metal is not characterized by high corrosion resistance. An exception can be called a propane gas cylinder, which is covered with paint using a special technology.

How to proceed?

After everything you need has been purchased or found, you can proceed to the direct work. The sequence of actions, as a rule, is as follows:

  • The valve opens fully to completely release the gas. Do not forget that even a small amount of such a substance can lead to its fire or explosion. In addition, all clothing can become saturated with harmful odors. You can make sure that there is no more gas left in the container by covering the valve with a soapy composition. It is possible to drain the remaining gasoline only after completely unscrewing the valve and removing it, which is not recommended in the presence of pressure.
  • The next step is to unscrew the valve, after which the pins holding the element are removed. Removing this locking mechanism is quite difficult in some cases, but if possible, a diameter of 6 mm is formed. If the valve cannot be unscrewed, then you can cut it off using a conventional metal hacksaw. You can reduce the likelihood of fire by supplying water to the cutting area, for which it is enough to use a regular hose.
  • After that, the gas tank is filled with water. This is required in order to remove any residual gas that may remain in a half-closed container. The resulting gasoline solution can be safely discharged, since it is absolutely safe and cannot ignite.
  • It should be borne in mind that the resulting liquid has a persistent and rather pungent odor. That is why it is recommended to drain it away from the structure. To speed up the process, you can supply compressed air to the gas container.
  • After complete cleaning of the container, you can start cutting directly. For this, the surface is marked, for which you can use chalk. Many cut welds because they are less tough.
  • Before work, it should be borne in mind that in most cases, steel with a thickness of 3-4 mm is used in the manufacture of a gas cylinder. At the joints, this indicator increases to 5-6 mm. Almost any angle grinder can handle this task.
  • To simplify your own task, you can prematurely pass the angle grinder when using a disc with a thickness of 1.6 mm. By using a wider blade, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of jamming of the nozzle, which will be used for the final cut.
  • Some thicker elements can be cut and then cut with a chisel and hammer. Due to this, the cutting process is accelerated, but the quality of the resulting cut is significantly reduced.

The cutting methods discussed are used so that the gas cylinder can be reused in the manufacture of a wide variety of products. If after cutting it, a pungent smell remains, then the inner surface is burned with a blowtorch. After such processing, the body will be ready for further use.

What to look for?

There are a few things to keep in mind when cutting. The main ones are:

  • Cutting must be carried out with special protection applied.
  • Seam work is easier, but often the markings do not match. When cutting on a circular plane, you need to put a slight load on the angle grinder, since the small contact area leads to slipping of the nozzle.
  • Many problems arise with removing rust and paint.

In general, we can say that the cutting process does not create significant problems.

How to cut a gas cylinder angle grinder

After the old propane gas cylinder has become unusable, do not rush to throw it away. In some cases, it can be used to make various products with your own hands, for which it is often cut. A similar process is characterized by a rather large number of features, which we will talk about in more detail below.

How to cut a balloon safely

In the manufacture of a gas cylinder from propane or other gas, rather high quality metal is often used. That is why many are considering the possibility of cutting it to obtain blanks, which are later used to create various products. When considering how to cut a gas cylinder, it is recommended that you pay attention to the following points:

  • The body can be a good blank when making a stove, water tank or barbecue.
  • Before carrying out work directly, the oxygen gas cylinder should be emptied, since the gas at its high concentration is not only flammable, but also explosive. Therefore, check the filling of the gas cylinder before cutting.
  • With oxygen and carbon dioxide gas cylinders, as a rule, there are no significant problems. This is due to the fact that ordinary iron is used in their manufacture.
  • With propane gas cylinders, quite serious problems can arise. This is due to the fact that it is quite difficult to empty them completely; this requires preliminary preparation.

Before starting work, you also need to prepare the required set of tools. As a rule, it can be found in almost any garage and workshop.

Rules to be followed during cutting

The rules for using an angle grinder in this case does not differ much from what is also when carrying out other work. The main ones are:

  • Work must be carried out in special clothing made of non-combustible material. Do not work with open areas of the skin, as if fragments get in, a burn may appear.
  • Before cutting, you should pay attention to the condition of the disc: the degree of wear, the presence or absence of defects, and much more.
  • Cutting must be carried out exclusively with protective goggles. Cutting creates a large number of debris that can get into the eyes and cause injury.
  • Only use an angle grinder with a protective cover.
  • When cutting metal, it is recommended to stand to the side of the cutting line.
  • In some cases, cutting is divided into several stages. When cutting for a long time, the bit used may cause it to heat up. Too high temperature leads to increased wear rate.

In addition, cutting should only be carried out when the gas container is completely emptied. This is due to the fact that even a small amount of gas can lead to detonation.

When cutting, a large number of fragments are formed, which will immediately ignite the combustible mixture.

How to cut a gas cylinder, tools needed

Sooner or later, gas containers become unusable, then, in order to give them a second life, you can learn how to cut a gas cylinder, which can become source of heat or a convenient barbecue for summer vacations. In everyday life, a cut cylinder can be useful, but in general it will be source of pollution, which is very harmful to the environment.

Examples of using cut gas cylinders

Human invention provides many uses for such modified containers, for example:

  • capacity for an artificial reservoir in the country;
  • part of the autonomous heating system;
  • brazier / smokehouse / woodshed;
  • forge hearth / fireplace.

You can think of other types for using cut gas cylinders. If there was no such work before, then it is best to find out in advance how to cut a gas cylinder, the video will be an ideal option, because it will allow you not only to imagine, but to see the process as it should be.

Rules to be followed during cutting

According to safety rules, there are several main rules for cutting containers in which gaseous substances were previously stored. It is necessary to know how to properly cut a gas cylinder before starting work. this is very important! To perform the necessary actions, you will need:

  • the actual gas cylinder is naturally empty;
  • hacksaw for metal work;
  • construction funnel;
  • bucket;
  • watering hose;
  • angle grinder with protective set.

After all the tools are prepared, you can read the information or watch a video on how to cut a gas cylinder of an angle grinder to do all the work quickly and efficiently.

How to work: what to do?

First of all, you should start by opening the valve on the cylinder. Naturally, you should open it as much as possible, to the very stop. This action will help to make sure that the gas that was previously in the cylinder is completely absent by the time of the cut. After that, you need to put the balloon on its side. Knowing how to cut a gas cylinder can handle this task quickly.

The next step involves using a hacksaw. You should start cutting down the brass valve of the cylinder immediately, as they say, “at the root.” Brass, which will facilitate the task for a beginner in this business, is quite easy to saw with this tool.

It is important to remember that at the time of sawing off the valve, the help of a second person will be required. The fact is that in parallel it is necessary to pour water into the cylinder and into the place where the valve itself was located. This is necessary so that sparks do not arise. it will be safer if suddenly vapors of the gas mixture remain.

Having cut the valve, fill the cylinder with water completely. To do this, you can and should use a bucket or watering hose. As the cylinder is filled, it should be shaken, this is done in order to wash off the gas condensate from the walls, if it had a place to be.

The next step is to drain the water after flushing the cylinder. It is best to do this away from home, as the smell of gas will be noticeable for a long time. After all these actions, you can safely proceed to the main stage. sawing the cylinder of the angle grinder. Usually the thickness of gas used in storage tanks is about 3 mm.

Thus, knowing how to cut a gas cylinder, you can cope with this task quickly and not get tired at all. This operation is not complicated, but it will allow you to create many different devices that are useful in everyday life and when performing various works.

Please note that an individual mask can be of two types, for example, as in the “Oksilab” can (mask-cap) described above, included in the kit, or purchased separately in a set with a reducer that doses the oxygen supply (the latter option implies its reusability ).
