What is the maximum size cylinder to be used in a building undergoing major repair?

In a building undergoing major repair, the maximum size cylinder that can be used is 2450 WC (water capacity). This regulation is in place primarily for safety and management of fuel storage during renovation activities. Tanks and cylinders used in such situations must adhere to specific capacity limits to minimize risks associated with fuel leaks, explosions, and other hazards that can arise during construction work.

The choice of 2450 WC aligns with safety standards generally applied to ensure that the risks associated with handling and storing fuel are kept at an acceptable level. In environments where structural integrity might be compromised during repairs, managing the amount of fuel on-site is crucial to prevent potential accidents that could have serious implications for both workers and the building itself.

Larger cylinder capacities, such as 3000 WC or 3500 WC, exceed the safety guidelines during major repairs, increasing the potential for accidents and complications. Thus, the safe limit established as 2450 WC is a crucial factor in maintaining safety protocols in buildings under significant renovation.
