OxygenWhen used in combination with a fuel gas such as acetylene, oxygen is ideal for welding, cutting, brazing and soldering a range of materials.
Oxygen and acetylene together produce the hottest flame of any welding gas mixture. In combination with other fuel gases, it gives a much higher flame temperature than air. Now available in E and D size from selected stores.

Compressed Oxygen is supplied in gas cylinders. These cylinders should be stored in an upright position, restrained from falling, in a well ventilated area, away from flammable gases or liquids. For medical use it is important to store empty cylinders in a separate location to full cylinders to l ensure there is no confusion in the event of an emergency.
In order to calculate how long one cylinder will last, you will need to know the average flow rate of oxygen you are using. Combined with the contents of oxygen in the cylinder when full, which is on the cylinder label and specification, you can work out how long the cylinder will last.
Safety guidelines stipulate that gas cylinders should be stored, secured, and transported in an upright position whenever possible. However, it is possible to transport oxygen cylinders (a compressed oxidising gas) in a horizontal position if they are property secured in place.
Oxygen gas cylinders should not explode under normal conditions. However, leaking equipment in confined spaces may lead to an oxygen enriched environment that makes explosions and fires more likely.
