Abstract
A stand for supporting a pressure vessel includes a support body having an upper wall and a sidewall extending downwardly from the upper wall. A locking aperture is defined in the upper wall to permit passage of pressure vessel components therethrough. A plurality of locking latches is disposed along an inner dimension of the locking aperture. The locking latches are configured and adapted to couple with a pressure vessel retaining ring passing through the locking aperture.
