The shape of the cylinder is round
Let us tell you that there is a scientific reason behind keeping the shape of all cylinders round. Whether the cylinder is small or big, its shape is kept round. The most important reason for keeping the gas cylinder round is that more pressure can be applied in it. When gas or any liquid thing is kept in the cylinder, pressure can be created on it. It is easy to do this in round shaped things, hence gas cylinders are made of round shape. Apart from this, it is also easy to lift and keep it. At the same time, due to the round shape, its transportation also becomes easy.

hole in the cylinder
Now you must be wondering why there is a hole in the cylinder. According to the information, the reason for the hole is the circulation of air. These holes are made so that air keeps flowing between the ground and the lower part of the cylinder. It is mandatory to have ventilation of air towards the lower part of the cylinder. If this does not happen, the life of the cylinder can decrease rapidly.
According to the information, ventilation of air is also necessary because there is a high risk of water or moisture settling in the lower part of the cylinder. When this happens, the cylinder starts rusting very quickly, which starts damaging it. For this reason, a hole is made at the bottom of the cylinder so that air circulation is maintained.
