Abstract (en)
The protective element (1) for a pressurized gas container (12) according to the present invention is comprising a jacket tube (2) limited in direction of an adjustment axis (3) by an upper opening (4) and a lower opening (5), wherein at least 80 % of the lateral surface area (6) of the jacket tube (2) is unperforated. The protective element (1) according to the present invention allows the protection of pressurised gas containers which are filled e. g. with inflammable and/or toxic gases during filling of or extraction from the pressurised gas container (12). The operator and the surrounding can be protected from explosions and from the generation of toxic gas mixtures. In both cases an emergency flag can be set and an evacuation of the surrounding and/or the extraction of the harmful gas mixtures can be started.
