We need to sort out where we store our compressed gas. Ranges from highly flammable, oxidising, intert to toxic / corrosive. I know i can't store my highly flammable compressed gasses next to oxidising for obvious reasons. Therefore I'm trying to find the exact seperation distance they are after. I know LPG needs to be seperated by a fire wall.
As an example, if i was to store oxidising, intert and toxic all in one external cage. What would the distance need to be between all the banks of bottles?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Jk There is guidance from e.g. HSE and the British Compressed Gases Association but dependent on quantities and other variables.. Not actually true that LPG necessarily needs to be separated by a fire wall, but again what should be done depends on the variables. But as a very basic example, if you have an oxy-propane cutting set you ARE keeping a flammable gas immediately alongside an oxidising agent albeit just one bottle of each.
