4 kg Carbon dioxide CO₂ - B05,4 - steel
A carbon dioxide (CO₂) B05,4 gas cylinder is a robust, industrial gas cylinder with a water capacity of 5.4 liters, filled with 4 kg of liquid CO₂. This cylinder is manufactured from high-quality, durable steel and offers an excellent balance between a manageable size and a substantial gas supply.
As with smaller CO₂ cylinders, the gas in the B05,4 is stored in liquid form under saturated vapor pressure (approximately 50-60 bar at room temperature). No porous mass is required, as the gas is stable in this liquid state. The steel housing makes this cylinder particularly suitable for intensive daily use in professional environments.
Key features:
- Capacity: With a 4 kg fill, this cylinder offers a significantly longer usage time than the compact 1.5 kg or 2 kg models, without the bottle becoming the size of a heavy stationary cylinder.
- Steel robustness: The steel construction is resistant to the challenging conditions of a workshop, construction site, or professional hospitality environment.
- Applications: Ideal for larger welding projects (MAG welding), or other industrial applications where a continuous gas flow must be ensured for a longer period.

Transport
Transport:
- Fixation: Due to its greater weight (compared to 1.5 kg and 2 kg cylinders), proper fixation in the vehicle is essential. Use a dedicated cylinder holder or ratchet straps to prevent the cylinder from sliding or tipping over while driving.
- Protective cap: During transport, always ensure that the protective cap is screwed onto the valve once the pressure regulator has been removed.
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for the B05,4 (Steel)
- Always upright: It is crucial that this cylinder is strictly used and transported upright. In a tilted or lying position, liquid CO₂ can enter the pressure regulator, leading to immediate freezing (-78°C) and potentially causing serious damage to the equipment.
- Temperature management: The internal pressure depends on the ambient temperature. Avoid exposure to heat sources or direct sunlight, as the pressure in the cylinder rises rapidly when heated.
- Ventilation: Since CO₂ is heavier than air, it can displace oxygen in the lower levels of a room in the event of a leak. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in basements or confined spaces.
- Risk of freezing: During rapid gas withdrawal, the valve can freeze. For continuous use, use a pressure regulator with a built-in heating element to prevent the valve from freezing (and the subsequent blockage of the gas flow).
