Propane A New Approach to Protecting Cylinder Exchange Cabinets

For years, safety codes and standards have required vehicle impact bollards to protect propane cylinders located in or near traffic routes. But because they lacked well-defined specifications — and untested performance metrics — for impact protection, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) funded a two-year study with the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) Cylinder Exchange Council to determine how code-complying bollard installations performed and how alternative methods of protection would perform.
