What Are Medical Oxygen Cylinders?

2025-08-29

Many people's image of a china oxygen tank is confined to hospital wards: a green or white high-pressure gas cylinder standing beside a bed, connected to an oxygen mask. In reality, this humble china oxygen tank has saved lives in countless critical moments.


A china oxygen tank is a high-pressure container specifically designed to store and supply medical oxygen. Compared to industrial china oxygen cylinders, it has stricter requirements for gas purity, cylinder material, and safety. Medical oxygen must achieve a purity of at least 99.5%, ensuring that every breath of oxygen delivered to the patient is pure and free of impurities. The cylinder itself also requires professional design and testing to withstand high-pressure storage and remain stable and safe during use.


What does a china oxygen tank look like?

It is typically cylindrical in shape, with a white or green marking to distinguish it from industrial cylinders. The cylinder is typically made of high-quality alloy steel or aluminum alloy, ensuring it can withstand high pressures while being easy to transport. A specialized valve and pressure-relief device at the mouth of the cylinder gradually release the high-pressure oxygen, ensuring a stable and appropriate oxygen flow rate for the patient.

In clinical practice, china oxygen tanks have a wide range of uses. From ambulances and operating rooms to home care and rehabilitation treatment, for example, patients suffering a sudden heart attack or experiencing breathing difficulties often receive oxygen in the ambulance as the first treatment. During surgery, anesthesia machines also require china oxygen cylinders. For patients with respiratory diseases, these small china oxygen cylinders for home use are essential.


Can china oxygen tank be purchased casually?

Because china oxygen tank is a life-threatening condition, it is subject to strict regulatory requirements. Generally, hospitals, clinics, ambulances, and other licensed medical institutions are permitted to purchase and use it. Individuals with specific health needs, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic respiratory problems, must purchase and use it under a doctor's supervision. This ensures oxygen purity, safety, and proper use, eliminating risks posed by improper handling or improper storage.


Snowrain specializes in producing china oxygen tank that meets international standards. The cylinders are lightweight and durable, commonly made of 6061A aluminum alloy, making them lighter and easier to carry than traditional steel cylinders. The interior of the cylinders undergoes special treatment to maintain high oxygen purity over time, preventing impurities that may affect breathing quality. The valves and pressure-reducing devices for our china oxygen tanks are scientifically and ergonomically designed to ensure smooth and safe oxygen delivery.


Our Customers:

One hospital, with whom we have long collaborated, had previously used traditional steel china oxygen cylinders. While functional, they had several issues. The bottles were too heavy, making them difficult for medical staff to carry during emergency situations. Deteriorating valves resulted in unstable oxygen release, resulting in a poor patient experience. They subsequently transitioned to our aluminum alloy china oxygen cylinders. The results were surprisingly positive. The cylinder is lightweight, making it easy for a single nurse to carry. The valve design ensures smooth oxygen delivery and greater patient comfort. The internal cleanliness is exceptional, ensuring consistent oxygen purity. They have now replaced all their existing cylinders with our products and are sharing their experience with other medical institutions.


Snowrain's china oxygen cylinders are sold in numerous regions both domestically and internationally, providing reliable solutions for large hospitals, community clinics, and home care users. We warmly welcome more medical institutions, distributors, and partners to visit our factory and witness the entire cylinder production process from raw materials to finished product. We look forward to establishing long-term partnerships with more hospitals and medical institutions.
