Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.

Example of embalmed abstraction in technical report?
Embalmed abstraction: The cylinder must be maintained in an upright position. Simple: The cylinder must be kept upright.
What types of data must handled and stored properly based on classification markings and handling caveats?
Classified information data must be handled and stored properly based on classification markings and handling caveats.
Why must tailings be stored and disposed of properly?
They may be toxic or present other hazards.
What must happen tp a program that is stored on hard drve be fore it can be executed?
It must be loaded into memory. Then, if it uses dynamic binding, it must be bound to its imported symbols.
Which is hotter oxy and acetylene welding or MIG welding?
This is something of a trick question... Every metal has its own melting point that must be reached to weld the material. The difference between Oxy-ace and Mig is the Heat Effected Zone. This is the blue and purple area around your weld in which the Microstructure and properties of your base material change. Oxy-Ace will have a much wider HAZ.
What are the main consideration for the storage of compressed gas cylinder?
Go and check safety regulations, and do it thoroughly. Some cylinders must be stored under very strict conditions - acetylene cylinders, for instance, contain a fusible pressure release plug that may leak acetylene, and an acetylene-air mixture is highly explosive. Check the regs.
Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?
Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.

Why gases are stored in cylindrical vessels?
Gasses are also stored in spheres. Likewise, gas cylinders usually have domed ends. High Pressure gas storage containers have the same problem a soap bubble has, to maximize volume with minimum surface area. In this case the surface is usually heavy high-strength metal. You could store high pressure gas in any shape, but it would be heavier than a sphere or a cylinder for the same storage volume. So why is a cylinder just like a sphere? If you had a spherical high-pressure gas container, it would have equal internal pressure all over its surface. So imagine we cut a ribbon band of material circumferentially and made a hundred of them--then we stacked and welded the bands into a cylinder. The pressure on the band (now a longer tube) would be the same as the pressure was on the sphere--BUT we have a much larger volume.
Can you lay portable air conditioners on its side?
While it's not the best method, portable air conditioners can be stored on their side, as long as they are allowed to sit upright for 12 hours before operating them. The can not be operated on their sides, though.
Is acetylene gas harmful to the human body?
If you get acetylene on you, you must quickly seek medical attention and stay far away from any kind of spark or flame otherwise you will instantly catch fire and probably burn to death.
Why must you remain upright for a half hour after taking fosamax?
The concern is the pill can cause severe esophagitis if it is retained in the esophagus. Staying upright supposedly reduces this risk.
Where you have to be to see an upright image of yourself in concave mirror?

Where can one shop for an upright vacuum?
An upright vacuum can be bought at various stores depending on the make and brand of the vacuum. Also when considering buying an upright vacuum, whether one wants a bagged or bagless vacuum must be considered. Either way an upright vacuum can be bought at any department stores.
