Description

The main industrial application of oxygen is combustion.
It is used combined with a fuel gas for cutting, welding, brazing and soldering.
Due to its ability to help stabilise the arc and reduce surface tension, oxygen is used as an ingredient in some shielding gas mixtures.

DANGERS:


• High Pressure compressed gas.
• Vigorously supports combustion.
• Materials that would not normally burn in air, will burn in Oxygen
• Oil and grease are particularly hazardous in the presence of oxygen as they can ignite spontaneously and burn with explosive violence.

Storage and handling

  • Store oxygen cylinders away from combustible materials.
  • Ensure all cylinders are correctly labelled in accordance with Australian Dangerous Goods Code (Transport)
  • Protect cylinders and particularly the valve from physical damage whether cylinder is full or empty.
  • Store cylinders in a cool, well ventilated, spark free area below 45°C.
  • External storage is preferred.
  • Cylinders should never be carried or stored in unventilated areas, vans, cars, garages etc.
  • Close valves when not in use and when empty, check regularly for leaks.
