About us
For more than 100 years, the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) has been dedicated to the development and promotion of safety standards and safe practices for our industry. Our trade association promotes the safe, secure, and environmentally responsible manufacture, transportation, storage, transfilling, and disposal of industrial, medical, and food gases and their containers. More than 130 companies worldwide are members of the Compressed Gas Association, from multinational corporations to family-owned businesses. These companies represent all facets of the industry: manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and transporters of gases, cryogenic liquids, and related products. Our sphere of influence encompasses industrial, medical, food, and specialty gases in compressed or liquefied form, as well as a range of gas handling equipment. Compressed gases provide the invisible ingredient in millions of products used in everyday life. Together, our members supply products to industries that account for nearly 30% of the U.S. gross domestic product. In fact, every job our industry creates generates 2.3 additional jobs elsewhere in the economy. We use a committee system comprised of member volunteers to develop technical specifications, safety standards, and training and educational materials. We also work with government agencies to help formulate and promote compliance with responsible regulations and standards. Additionally, CGA works in close cooperation with other industrial gas associations around the world to harmonize standards and advance safety for the industry worldwide.

CGA’s Cylinder Valve Committee, applying the experience and knowledge of gas producers, valve manufacturers, military services, federal agencies, and gas users, established detailed dimensions for the manufacture of new cylinder valve outlet and inlet connections in CGA V-1: Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections. The scope of this standard is to provide connections that minimize the possibility of hazardous misconnections. This standard is based on a coordinated plan for the inclusion of future connections as they are required on cylinders that are not permanently manifolded during transport and use. Standard outlet connections for respective gases are fully defined and complete in themselves. These outlet connections are designed to minimize the possibility of hazardous misconnections. https://lnkd.in/ewj9HzpC #CGAV1Standard #CylinderValveSafety #GasCylinderStandards #HazardPrevention #ValveSafetyStandards #GasIndustry #SafetyStandards #ValveConnections #CompressedGasSafety #GasProducers #ValveManufacturers #MilitarySafety #FederalSafety #GasUserSafety

Large scale hydrogen production has been safely operating for decades. But with the increased demand for hydrogen as a fuel for fuel cell electric vehicles including cars, buses and trucks, small scale hydrogen production facilities are becoming more common. Thanks to the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) we have a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure the safe operation of small-scale hydrogen plants. These standards are crucial as we bring hydrogen production closer to fueling stations to meet local demand. Watch their video to learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02DFj3z0 Let’s continue working together for a safe and sustainable hydrogen future! #HydrogenSafety #Hydrogen
