Identification of an unlabeled lecture bottle
Identification of an unlabeled lecture bottle
(OP)
I found an unlabeled lecture bottle in a biology storage room. I would like some help identifying the chemical if possible, so that I can enter it properly into our waste stream. The lecture bottle is approximately 12" in length, and contains the following information:
Bottle colors: top 20% is green, bottom 80% is grey.
Valve markings: the Ohio chem & mfg. co, Cleveland, Ohio
bottle markings:1042, 1CC-3A-2C15, A-8098, 00-MCO, 0-36 P98
defaced bottle marking: diamond with green interior and light yellow exterior
I'm also including a picture in case this helps- thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

1CC-3A-2C15 Recheck that marking to see if it says 1CC-3A-2015 .
That appears to be the pressure rating for the re fill of that bottle.
The color of the bottle entirely depends on the gas supplier you need to see if a company label or supplier name is stamped someher somewhere.
Other than that for the most part Green is a color assigned to oxidizers. and grey or silver is assigned to gasses that are physically dangerous.

The bottle looks like a 2x12 medical oxygen bottle with that pillar valve, however if it was just oxygen the bottle should just be the green color of the top. See if you can find the compressed gas supplier for your institution and take it over to them for an opinion.

Obviously you can vent oxygen to air (away from flames), N2 or CO2 are safe also. A burnable gas (ether ?) or refrigerant or a medical device calibration gas is different.
I'd suspect oxygen in something that small. Get it out of the lecture room in any case, get it stored with the top vertical out of doors, secured so it can't get tipped over, run over, or dropped over and break the valve.

The cylinder has an A pillar valve like a medical oxy bottle it looks suspiciously like a CGA870_3A fitting.
I am at the limits of my knowlege to know what else that type of valve is used for.

It seems that you have incorrectly transcribed the numbers. "1CC-3A-2C15" is probably ICC-3A-2015
