What is the maximum surface temperature to which containers shall not be heated?

The maximum surface temperature to which containers shall not be heated is 125 Fahrenheit. This limit is established to ensure safety when handling non-flammable compressed gases. When containers are exposed to elevated temperatures, the increased internal pressure can lead to dangerous situations such as ruptures or leaks.

Keeping the temperature at or below 125 Fahrenheit helps mitigate these risks, maintaining the integrity of the container and preventing accidents. This is especially important in environments where containers may be subject to direct heat sources or poor ventilation. Ensuring that heating methods and environments adhere to this temperature guideline is critical for the safety of personnel and property.
