gas cylinder
Portable fuel vessel
A gas cylinder is a pressurized metal container for storing and transporting gases—oxygen, propane, helium, or industrial gases like nitrogen and argon.
The cylindrical shape distributes pressure evenly.
Gas cylinders range from small canisters for camping stoves to large tanks for welding or medical oxygen: The welder hooked up a fresh gas cylinder.
