(e) where a cylinder has contained poisonous or obnoxious substances, and the valve is suspected of being obstructed, the gas shall be released within an approved appliance and the valves shall be removed in such a manner that the gas escapes without danger to the operator. (f) should the valve be obstructed the contents of the cylinder shall be released in safe manner as stated in clauses (a) and (b) of sub-rule (1) on cylinders containing combustible gases shall be carried out in the open air in the degassing area. (g) A suitable method of dealing with a valve in which the spindle cannot be removed to drill a 1/16th in (1.6 mm) diameter hole with a hand drill through the valve body to the gas passage below the spindle seating. (h) alternatively, a fine-tooth hacksaw may be used. (i) Drilling or sawing must be stopped immediately upon the first sign of escaping gas.

(d) leak test shall be performed for composite cylinders when indicated by the nature of the imperfections found during the external and internal inspection as per applicable standard and the following method for leak test shall be applied, namely:- Pressurise the cylinder with an inert gas to 2/3 of the test pressure. Maintain this pressure in the cylinder for not less than 2 hours. Thereafter conduct a bubble leak test for at least 10 min. The cylinder shall be visually checked for leaks using a suitable technique (e.g. with soapy water, cylinder immersion). Leakage greater than 1 bubble/min, i.e. 6 ml/h in the bubble leak test, shall constitute a failure of the cylinder. Adequate safety precautions should be taken to contain any energy that can be released.
