DESIGN OF RECONDITIONING FIXTURE FOR THE GAS CYLINDER

India is the second largest country to consumption of gas cylinder for the domestic purpose. So the production of the new cylinder is very difficult and also the cylinder may get damaged for a certain age so to overcome from this Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BI S) the gas committee had been approved by the Heavy Mechanical Engineering Division Council. The cylinder which is used after 5 years should be examination, reconditioning for the inspection, materials, procedure, testing and marking for reconditioning of used gas cylinders of capacity of 5 liters and up to and including 250 liters as to be done . So in this paper design of the fixture is made for the gas cylinder is made which help to hold the cylinder easily without any disturbance for the cylinder and it can be rotated easily in both the direction. The abrasive cut - off machine is used to remove Foot ring and VP ring from the cylinder without damaging the cylinder body. And also it helps to increases in the production rate in all the stations and it reduce the time and cost of the reconditioning of the gas cylinder
