Oxygen Bottle Is Lighter, Will Safety Deteriorate?
In modern medical treatment, oxygen cylinders are commonly used equipment for first aid and long-term treatment. Now oxygen bottle has gradually replaced the traditional steel oxygen cylinder, and the lightness of oxygen bottle is loved by hospitals and families. But many people are worried: if oxygen bottle is lighter, will the safety be worse? Below, let's take a look together.
Introduction of oxygen bottle:
Oxygen bottle is a container made of high-strength aluminum alloy, designed for the storage and transportation of medical oxygen. It usually comes in various specifications, such as 2 liters, 4 liters or 10 liters capacity, and is suitable for hospital, ambulance or home care scenarios. The interior of these oxygen bottle maintains a high degree of cleanliness, there will be no pollution, and the oxygen purity is guaranteed to meet medical requirements.
Advantages of oxygen bottle:
Lightness is oxygen bottle's biggest advantage: a standard 4-liter aluminum bottle weighs only about 5-6 kg, while the same steel bottle may weigh 8-10 kg, which reduces the handling burden and is suitable for first aid or outdoor use. Moreover, aluminum materials are inherently corrosion-resistant, not easy to rust, can adapt to humid environments, and extend service life; oxygen bottle has a compact design and is easy to store.
Will oxygen bottle be lighter and safer?
Judging from the material characteristics, medical oxygen bottle uses high-strength aluminum alloy. After special process treatment, the strength can fully meet the requirements of medical oxygen storage and use. The "Medical Gas Container Safety Technical Report (2024 Edition)" released by the China Medical Device Industry Association mentioned that medical oxygen bottle that meets national standards, under normal use and maintenance, has impact resistance and compression resistance comparable to steel oxygen cylinders, and even has advantages in corrosion resistance, because the aluminum surface will form a dense oxide film, which can effectively prevent oxygen from corroding the bottle body and reduce safety risks.
Moreover, medical oxygen bottle will undergo strict quality inspection during the production process to ensure that the bottle body is free of leaks, cracks and other problems. The national "Safety Technical Conditions for Medical Oxygen Cylinder Filling Stations" also clearly stipulates that medical oxygen bottle has strict standards for design pressure, wall thickness and other parameters. As long as it is a qualified product produced by a regular manufacturer, it is light and safe. It is completely guaranteed.
Precautions for the use of medical oxygen bottle:
Before use, check the appearance of medical oxygen bottle to see if the bottle body is damaged, scratched, and the valve is intact. When using it, follow the correct method and don't use too much force to damage the interface. When storing, store in a cool and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, do not let direct sunlight, and do not put it with flammable and explosive items. It should be noted that the oxygen in the medical oxygen bottle should not be completely used up, and a certain pressure should be retained to prevent air from entering the bottle and causing pollution.
Conclusion:
Medical oxygen bottle is lighter and the safety will not be worse. As long as you choose qualified products produced by regular manufacturers, use and maintain them correctly, you can ensure the safety of use. The products we produce are strictly controlled in terms of materials, technology, testing, etc., the quality is guaranteed, and the production capacity is sufficient to provide customers with a stable product supply.
