Use a properly rated burst disc, blow down tube, and a legal/tested bottle and you'll be fine. These items are designed so that you don't have to ask questions like these.

Any sealed container for anything can blow up if the interior pressure reaches a point where the container can not hold it. This is the reason for burst disks. When direct heat is applied by a torch or similar heating method it weakens the bottle as well. Any shop that sells welding gas should be able to re-cert your bottle.

The burst disk is on the bottle valve.
