Compressing gas containing 20% O2
Compressing gas containing 20% O2
(OP)
Hi
it is my understanding that compressing gas with over 10% Oxygen is dangerous.
I have been asked to take a number of cylinders filled to 200 Bar of 20% Oxygen balance Helium, and compress them through to a pack containing 64 cylinders. Can anyone confirm where i can find evidence to say compressing Oxygen at 20% is a big no no?
the make of the compressors are compair h series..
any help would be greately appreciated.
thanks

Certainly oxygen-enriched atmospheres (more oxygen than that in air) may need special precautions as things become rather more flammable.
