How Long Can 1L Oxygen Last?

2025-07-25

How long can 1L oxygen last? In fact, it is affected by many factors, such as the user's breathing rate, the flow rate setting of oxygen inhalation, and the duration of oxygen inhalation.


In practical applications, if we take the common low-flow oxygen inhalation as an example, the flow rate is set to 1L/minute, then 1L of oxygen can theoretically only be used for 1 minute. But don't worry, the "1L" here refers to the volume of the oxygen cylinder, not the actual "gas volume" of oxygen in the bottle. It's like a Coke bottle is 500ml when it is full, but there is more than that gas inside after opening.


In a compressed state, oxygen is "compressed" and stored. For example, the common 1L , under a pressure of 15MPa, the actual volume of oxygen that can be released is about 12 to 15 liters. In other words, at a flow rate of 1L/minute, oxygen refill tank can support oxygen inhalation for about 12 to 15 minutes; if the flow rate is lowered to 0.5L/minute, the use time of oxygen refill tank can double to 25 to 30 minutes. Of course, if it is used for intermittent oxygen inhalation or only for a while when needed, the use time may be longer.
