Cylinders & Safety
What is the full pressure in an oxygen E-Cylinder?
2200psig
Air and O2
What's the purpose of a frangible disk on a gas cylinder?
It ruptures if the pressure inside the cylinder becomes too high
What happens to FiO₂ if total flow is increased but FiO₂ dial stays the same?
FIO2 does not change
Explain what an alternating manifold system does:)
it has a service side and a reserve side
The service side is set at 50psig and once it empties, it will automatically swicth to the reserve side
860L
Why cant pressure gauge readings show the amount left in N2O cylinder?
it contains a liquid/vapour and the pressure stays constant until the liquid is gone
What happens when the pressure in a belnder drops below 50psig
Diaphragm shifts, alarm sounds and a blender may deliver more of the higher gas
inaccurate FIO2
