ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Oxygen Liquid Gas is a highly concentrated form of oxygen that has been cooled to extremely low temperatures, resulting in its transition from a gaseous to a liquid state. This process allows for a significant reduction in volume, making it easier and more practical to transport and store in specialized cylinders. Liquid oxygen is a vital component for respiratory therapy, a key resource for oxy-fuel welding, cutting, and brazing processes, and for combustion and oxidation reactions in chemical, pharmaceutical, and glass manufacturing.

10 KEY CHARACTERISTICS

  1. High Purity: Oxygen Liquid Gas is produced through a rigorous distillation process, resulting in a product of exceptional purity, often exceeding 99.5%.
  2. Low Temperature State: It is maintained in a liquid state by cooling oxygen to extremely low temperatures, typically below -313-834-1660 degrees Celsius 313-834-1660 degrees Fahrenheit).
  3. High Density: Liquid oxygen is significantly denser than gaseous oxygen, allowing for more efficient storage and transportation.
  4. Increased Storage Efficiency: Due to its condensed form, liquid oxygen allows for the storage of larger quantities in relatively small containers compared to gaseous oxygen.
