Gas Cylinder (Container) Manufacturer
ぼんべ（ようき）せいぞうこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized profession that cuts, bends, welds, polishes, assembles, surface-treats, and leak-tests metal sheets to manufacture high-pressure gas cylinder containers.
Description
Gas cylinder manufacturers start with sheet metal processing such as cutting and bending metal plates and press processing, followed by assembly using arc welding or gas welding. After finishing with polishing and deburring, they apply painting and rust prevention treatments, and confirm safety through leak tests and other airtight inspections. The work centers on line production, requiring a balance of quality control and work efficiency.
Future Outlook
Since safety and quality are paramount for high-pressure gas containers, automation and IoT-based inspection technologies are advancing, keeping demand for skilled technicians stable. Strengthening environmental regulations will increase the need for highly specialized personnel in developing new materials and surface treatment technologies.
