Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DOT-4BA and DOT-4BW cylinders?
DOT-4BA covers cylinders made from welded steel with a brazed or welded construction for LPG service, while DOT-4BW is a welded specification used for certain propane cylinders. We supply both; the correct choice depends on the US state or Canadian province where the cylinder will be filled. Our engineering team will confirm the right specification from your destination.
How many 12.5 kg cylinders fit in a 40 HQ container?
1,610 pcs loaded upright and loose. On standard pallets the figure is approximately 1,200 pcs. Note that if your market requires a protective plastic cap or shrink-wrap, the effective stowage will be slightly lower; we confirm the final number on the proforma invoice.
Can the 12.5 kg cylinder be supplied with our company name?
Yes. OEM branding is standard for this model. We can apply your logo by screen printing, stencil spraying or a pre-printed wrap, and we can supply the cylinder in your corporate colour. For the GLOBAL CYLINDER-T12 the OEM minimum is 1,610 pcs, i.e. one full 40 HQ container.
