10kg Oxygen Cylinder on rent (Aluminium)

A: An average 10kg aluminum oxygen tank provides enough oxygen for approximately 10 hours of usage per patient. However, this can vary depending on factors like the patient’s condition and rate of oxygen flow required. We recommend having backup oxygen tanks available in case of an emergency.

A: Oxygen cylinders should be stored upright in a secure area away from heat sources, flammable gases, and combustible materials. The storage area should be well-ventilated and the tanks should not be dropped or handled roughly. The valves should remain closed when not in use and the protective valve caps should be in place.

A: Aluminum oxygen cylinders typically need to be refilled or replaced every 5-7 years. The cylinders themselves have a lifespan of 15 years before needing to be retired. The expiry date of the tank should be clearly marked and you should replace the tank before this date. It is not advisable to refill an expired oxygen tank.

A: A 10kg aluminum oxygen cylinder can be filled up to a maximum pressure of 200 bar (2900 psi) at 21°C. Overfilling the tank beyond this point can be extremely dangerous and cause the tank to rupture or explode. Only properly trained technicians with the right equipment should handle refilling oxygen cylinders to the correct pressure.

A: Yes, oxygen cylinders can be transported in a vehicle but proper precautions must be taken:

• Secure the cylinders in an upright position to prevent tipping over.

• Ensure valves are fully closed and protective caps are in place.

• Keep windows open and do not smoke or have open flames present.

• Display hazard placards on the vehicle as required by local regulations for transporting compressed gases.

• Limit the number of cylinders in one vehicle based on available space and ensure even weight distribution for stability.
