Where oxygen is used
Hospitals and clinics
Medical grade oxygen in medical (MF) cylinders for wards, ICUs, theatres and ambulances, on a fixed refill schedule.
Patients at home
Elderly patients and people recovering after hospital often need oxygen at home. We deliver it with the flowmeter fitted.
Gas cutting
Steel fabricators, workshops and scrap yards cut plate and girders with oxygen and a fuel gas.
AC and fridge work
Technicians braze copper pipes with an oxygen and LPG torch set. Oxygen is never used to test or purge lines.
Medical or industrial oxygen?
Medical grade oxygen is filled in medical (MF) cylinders and is the only oxygen meant for patients. Industrial oxygen is for cutting, welding and brazing.
Never connect an industrial cylinder to a patient. Just tell us who the oxygen is for, and we will give you the right cylinder.
How long will an oxygen cylinder last?
Divide the litres of oxygen in the cylinder by the flow rate the doctor has set. For example, a 6.8 cubic meter cylinder holds about 6,800 litres of oxygen.
| Flow rate | 6.8 cubic meter cylinder | 9.91 cubic meter cylinder |
|---|---|---|
| 1 L/min | about 113 hours | about 165 hours |
| 2 L/min | about 56 hours | about 82 hours |
| 5 L/min | about 22 hours | about 33 hours |
| 10 L/min | about 11 hours | about 16 hours |
Rough times from a full cylinder at a steady flow. Always keep a spare one ready for a patient.
Cylinder sizes
| Cylinder | Good for |
|---|---|
| Around 10 litre | Ambulances, moving a patient, small workshops |
| Mid sizes | Patients at home, clinics, workshops |
| Large, holds 6.8 or 9.91 cubic meters | Hospitals and heavy use, fewer cylinder changes |
| Up to 80 litre | Hospitals and factories |
Litre is the cylinder size. Cubic meter is the gas a large cylinder holds. Medical (MF) and silver cylinders available.
Refill, buy or rent
Safety tips at home
- Keep the cylinder away from the stove, heaters and anyone smoking.
- Never put oil, grease or cream on the valve or regulator.
- Keep it standing and tied so it cannot fall.
- Close the valve when it is not in use.

Medical oxygen is filled in medical (MF) cylinders for patients. Industrial oxygen is for cutting and welding and must not be used on patients.
