: Can a gas cylinder explode if there’s no oxygen? assuming it is exposed to high heat
In: 1
If it’s full of gas, absolutely. Even insert gas like argon will cause a cylinder to explode under pressure. There are relief valves through to prevent this. If the pressure rises above a certain point the relief valve will trip and vent the entire tank for safety. The point at which the relief valve trips is significantly under what the tank would fail at.
