Management of compressed gas containers.
Management of compressed gas containers.
Bottom line
When the ambient temperature surrounding an oxygen cylinder decreases, pressure within that cylinder will decrease because pressure varies directly with temperature if the volume of a gas remains constant. High-pressure oxygen containers should be marked with the psi tolerance (i.e., 1,800 psi) before filling the container to that pressure. To assure safety, periodic inspection and servicing should take place by a certified maintenance provide found at some fixed base operations and terminal complexes.
