OXYGEN CYLINDER GAS FILLING PLANT
 [CODE NO.3377]

    Oxygen, the gaseous element that constitutes 20.946% of the earth's, atmosphere, is essential to respiration and life in all animals and  to most forms of vegetation.  Oxygen  supports  the combustion  of  feels which supply mankind with heat,  light  and power,  and  it  enters  into  oxidative  Combination  with  many materials. The speed of reaction and effectiveness of combination increases  with  oxygen concentrations greater than that  of  air Industry  has  established 99.5% purity for the  bulk  commercial product.

     The great importance of the industrial gas, oxygen is due to the usefulness of the acetylene torch for steel welding and steel cutting, and for the welding of other metals, to lesser degree to the oxyhydrogen flame. Oxygen gas in the breathing apparatus for a visitors at high altitudes and for oxygentents in hospitals is a high altitudes and for oxygentents in hospitals is a more recent development. An extension of  the use of oxygen lies  in the  increased intensity and speed of reactions brought about  by oxygen enriched air instead of ordinary air; the reduction of the cycle  time  so  achieved in chemical  or  metallurgical  process permits a greater yield per volume of equipment, and brings about lower  costs. Oxygen as a raw material for synthesizing chemical compounds is in daily use (ethylene oxide, sodium peroxide). Liquid oxygen mixed with carbon black may yet become an important and cheap explosive.

Oxygen is one of the basic chemical elements. In its most common form, oxygen is a colorless gas found in air. It is one of the life-sustaining elements on Earth and is needed by all animals. Oxygen is also used in many industrial, commercial, medical, and scientific applications. It is used in blast furnaces to make steel, and is an important component in the production of many synthetic chemicals, including ammonia, alcohols, and various plastics. Oxygen and acetylene are combusted together to provide the very high temperatures needed for welding and metal cutting. When oxygen is cooled below -297° F (-183° C), it becomes a pale blue liquid that is used as a rocket fuel.
