Application method: Gas regulator of suitable pressure and flow rating fitted to cylinder or manifold with low pressure gas distribution to equipment.PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION/PROPERTIES: Appearance: Colourless and odourless gas. Boiling point: (deg. C at 101.32kPa): - 183 ‘Vapour pressure: (kPa at 25 deg. C): No liquid phase. Relative density (Odeg. C 101.3 kPa, Air=1): 1.105 Flashpoint (deg C): No liquid phase Lower flammability limit (9): Non-flammable. Upper flammability limit (%): Non-fiammable. Solubility in water (101.32 kPa, 20 deg. C): 0.032 cm3/cm3 OTHER PROPERTIES: Cylinder pressure when full at 15 deg. C: 12 BAR, Permanent gas, critical temperature deg. C:- 118.6 Combustion reactions: Oil and grease can spontaneously ignite at low temperatures in oxygen enriched atmospheres. Many other materials, which do not burn in air, will vigorously burn in pure oxygen. Metals, once ignited, will burn in pure oxygen atmospheres under specific conditions of temperature and pressure. Material compatibility: All non-metals must be oxygen compatible. Copper is most commonly used metal Weight when full: 409g Ingredients Chemical name: CAS number: Proportion (%): Oxygen 778-44-7, 99.5 minimum HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION Health Effects: May form oxygen enriched atmosphere.ACUTE: The respiratory and central nervous system are primarily affected by gaseous oxygen. No health effects have been observed in humans exposed to concentrations up to 80 volume % oxygen for a few hours or up to 50 volume % for 24 hours. At pressures above 1 atmosphere hyperoxia may appear after 2 to 6 hours. Swallowed: No liquid phase Eye: Not irritating to the eye. Skin: Not irritating to the skin Inhaled: Gas is non-toxic. As the amount of oxygen inhaled is increased chest tightness, burning pains and coughing spasms will occur. Other symptoms of hyperoxia include cramps, nausea, dizziness, hypothermia, amblyopia (loss of vision), bradycardia, fainting spells and convulsions capable of causing death. CHRONIC: Exposure at normal or elevated pressure may cause severe thickening and scarring of lung tissues. Not carcinogenic or mutagenic. FIRST AID: Rescue personnel should be aware of extreme fire hazard in oxygen enriched atmospheres. ‘Swallowed, Eye, Skin: Not applicable. Inhaled: Remove from exposure. Check there is no obstruction to the airway if breathing is weak or has ceased and give artificial respiration. Keep warm and rested. Seek medical attention. Further treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. st Aid Fac ies: Air-Viva. ADVICE TO DOCTOR: Treatment for hyperoxia. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE Exposure Standards; No exposure standard. Engineering Controls: Do not expose cylinders to aggressive chemical or industrial environment which will affect the integrity of the cylinder. Securely connect regulator or manifold having suitable pressure and flow rating with connection to match cylinder valve outlet. Never allow oil or grease on cylinder valves. Use only oxygen compatible materials degreased for oxygen service. Copper andcopper alloys are recommended. Teflon is preferred. Most lubricants are not suitable. Cylinder manifolds should be positioned in well ventilated areas. Personal protection; No smoking or naked lights. Open cylinder valve slowly to avoid pressure shock and close when not in use. Flammability: Non-flammable product but vigorously supports combustion of materials which will ‘not usually burn in air. Concentrations of 25 volume % Oxygen wil significantly increase the rate of combustion for some materials. Fires may start easily due the reduced temperatures required to ignite materials in oxygen enriched atmosphere. SAFE HANDLNG INFORMATION Storage and Transport: Refer to commonwealth, State and Territory Dangerous Goods legislation which contain requirements for oxidising gas storage and transport. Store: Do not store near sources of ignition, poisons, flammable liquids or combustible materials, ‘Shipping name: Oxygen, compressed N.O.S. ‘Transport E.P.G. card: EPG or 2C6. FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD: temperatures in a fire may cause cylinder to rupture and internal pressure reliaf devices to be activated. Call fire brigade. This product will vigorously support combustion, Do not approach cylinders suspected to be hot. Remove cool cylinders from the path of the fire if safe to do so. Ensure working area is wel ventilated before re-use.
