Product Description
In combination with a fuel gas such as acetylene, hydrogen or LPG, it is used in welding, cutting, brazing, hardening, scarfing, flame cleaning and heating. Oxygen is used in the manufacture of steel, glass, ethylene oxide, methanol, acrolein, titanium dioxide, vinyl acetate and synthesis gas. It can be utilized in any chemical reaction where air is used to give faster reaction time and higher yields. Also suitable for laboratories, metal analysis and medical treatment.
Please be advised that if you don't have an empty bottle additional maintenance fees will be charged.
Product Information
Oxygen is most commonly combined with a fuel gas for cutting, welding, brazing and glass blowing as it greatly enhances combustion efficiency. It is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It is slightly heavier than air but will dispense fairly rapidly in a well-ventilated area. Copper, brass and high-quality stainless steel are the most common materials used with oxygen. They should be fully degreased as oil and grease can cause ignition. Most lubricants are therefore not compatible with oxygen.
HAZARDS:
- High pressure compressed gas
- Vigorously supports combustion of many materials which will not normally burn in air
- Any heat source hotter than 50°C must be regarded as a possible igniter of fires in the presence of gaseous oxygen or oxygen-rich atmospheres
