As part of our activities we fill lecture bottles with flammable gases and transport them around the country. I am in the process of checking over CDG and Use of transportable pressure equipment regulations and Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2004 but given there are 178 pages can anyone direct me the parts which relate to lecture bottles, including any exemptions which apply.
Thanks in advance. Steve

It would be interesting to know if they are carried under pressure or not? How many are carried at one time and if involved in an accident and some or all the bottles broke and ignited how big would the BANG be and how long would the flames last, is there a risk of expolsion?

I wonder if the word 'bottle' conjures up a mental image of a glass container?
I have a lecture bottle in my office. So that readers can understand the nature of these things, it is a steel cylinder, approximately 30cm long by 5cm diameter, with a valve at the top. The label proclaims that it contains 10 litres of gas.

From your description the " bottles " seem to be holding their contents at roughly 50 bar or780 psi, so i suppose the regs for transporting pressurised vessels would apply, in addition to the nature of the gas (flammable, toxic, etc)
