eMalahleni notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Boilermakers and fitting shops in Ferrobank rent oxygen and acetylene sets, argon for TIG and argon CO2 mixes for MIG, usually on a monthly rental plus a refill charge. Contractors heading to Kriel and Ogies should chain cylinders upright on the bakkie and fit flashback arrestors on the cutting torch. Warehouses along the N4 run LPG forklifts on an exchange cage, and complexes in Del Judor ask for lockable, ventilated cages against theft.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in eMalahleni
eMalahleni sits in the coal belt of the eastern Highveld, and gas here does two jobs. Engineering shops, mine contractors and boilermakers in Ferrobank and along the N4 use oxygen, acetylene, argon and CO2 every day, usually on cylinders rented from an industrial gas supplier. At home, many families in Witbank, Del Judor and KwaGuqa moved cooking and water heating to LPG during load shedding, and cold winter evenings bring out the three panel heater. LPG comes in by road to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores across town. Winters are cold and dry, so run an indoor heater only in a ventilated room and never overnight. Summer storms are violent, so keep cylinders upright on a firm, level base.
