BOC’s oxygen gas cylinders are designed to support a wide range of industries and applications.
BOC industrial grade oxygen vigorously supports the combustion of many materials such as copper, brass, stainless steel.
Oxygen is widely used with a fuel gas for cutting, welding, brazing and soldering. The use of oxygen gives higher flame temperatures than if air is used.
Features #
- Supplied with a 99.5% purity rating
- Colourless and odourless
- Does not burn but supports and accelerates combustion
- Non-toxic at atmospheric pressure
Benefits #
- Vigorously supports combustion. Introducing oxygen to conventional air-fuel flames increases the temperature of the flame.
- Used as an ingredient in some shielding gas mixtures, due to its ability to help stabilise the arc and reduce surface tension.
- When cutting, a 1% reduction in purity increases oxygen consumption by 25% and reduces the cutting speed by a similar amount.
