The Maximum amount of Gas Your Cylinder can Hold

12.5kg gas cylinder

As a standard rule, the weight of gas your cylinder can hold should not be greater than the weight of the empty cylinder.

For example, if your gas cylinder weighs 12.5 kg when empty, then when filled with gas it should weigh 25 kg maximum.

If you have a cylinder that weighs 5 kg when empty then when full it should weigh a total of 10kg.

If you try to fill your cylinder beyond the recommended capacity, you risk cylinder explosion 💥 which can result to destruction and fatalities.

How Ceramic Cups are Made

Ceramic cups being produced in a factory

Clay is the main ingredient used in the making of different kinds of ceramics including ceramic cups.

Water is added to the clay material to make it workable enough to mould into the required shape of the cup.

The cup 🍵 can be moulded by hand only, hand and spinning wheel or industrially. Industrial moulding gives the best finish followed by the hand and spinning wheel method.

After moulding, the cup is left to dry after which it is engraved, painted/glazed. Glazing is very important, apart from giving it it’s aesthetic look, the cup will  be impervious to water and have a smooth finish. Another method used after drying the cup is to oven dry to remove most of the moisture before paint/glazing.

The final stage is the oven drying of the cup. The cup is subjected to temperatures of over 1200 °C. This process will remove all the moisture inside of the cup and  give the cup it’s characteristic hardness. The heating and then cooling process can take up to half a day.
