Jaison, are you wanting to store the R22 in plastic containers or do you mean that the R22 cylinders will be in the airtight container?

most airlines won't let you "ship" gasses! Some freighters by water will if they are effectively secured inside a seacontainer!

And surely you mean putting the gas cilinders in the container!?

yes sir, i want to store f22 in plastic container, my container having airtight . If we store in like these containers how atmospheric pressure and temperature will effect these cylinders.

It is simply not recommended to store refrigerants in plastic containers.

A rise in temperature will cause the expected rise in pressure and the container will rupture.

I don't think that any shipping agent will accept your goods in this fashion. I am surprised that you are even thinking about it.

How do you work on systems and not know this?:eek:

Putting refrigerant in a plastic container is dangerous!

DO NOT ATTEMP THIS!

I never figured out what the PSI drop was with elevation. Need to do that one of these days.
Many years ago I was at 10,000 feet plus in a C-119 Airplane with a overfilled Propane bottle. The relief valve opened for a bit then closed. I blamed this in the change of elevation.
It also became a Nonsmoking flight in very short order.
R-22 in plastic? Do not think that is a wise idea at all.

Best people to ask would be your refrigerant supplier and cylinder manufacturer.

You might also check with freight forwarders and shipping companies. You cannot ship this by air freight.

I am not up to date on shiping regs, however I did take 50 Pound Cylinders of 502 as checked baggage years ago.
Things may have changed.
