High pressure air compression

High pressure air compression

High pressure air compression

(OP)
I am looking to make a high pressure air/CO2 stream.  I have a mixing system which generates a 120 psi stream, which I then want to compress to 1500 psi.  We do this with CO2/N2 now without issue, I was concerned that the O2 at this pressure would require special equipment.  Does any one know any relevant safety material?

RE: High pressure air compression

Are you addressing the level of oxygen in air (implied by the thread title); or an oxygen application?

If oxygen, we can list several standards available on the web for free that you should review.

RE: High pressure air compression

(OP)
Oxygen in the air being compressed, about 15% v/v.
