Are Natural Gas tanks safe?
Tanks for Natural Gas are able to guarantee the highest levels of safety: in fact, they are all subjected to stringent testing, both at the time of homologation and during their working life. The particular strength required to endure testing pressures of 300 bar and operating pressures of 220 bar means the cylinders are extremely resistant to impact. The use of fully tested, extremely reliable components, the implementation of all methods during installation for the prevention of gas leaks, even in case of faulty operation, and the intrinsic properties of Natural Gas (high ignition temperature, ignition only possible inside a particular interval of mixing with air) are all factors that play an important role in favor of safety. Natural Gas is lighter than air and so does not stagnate in case of leaks but is dispersed into the atmosphere without accumulating in the lower strata. Opinions are also positive on an international scale. Tests made by the most important institutes for safety
