E Cylinder ANS -0.28
G cylinder ANS -2.41
Know the filling pressures of oxygen cylinders (fiber-wrapped vs. aluminum/steel) ANS -...2200 psi
fiber wrapped can be filled to 3,000psi , but these tanks are very expensive and are not as common
*for calculation purposes all tanks full have 2200psi.
What is the working pressure of most respiratory care equipment? ANS -Large medical air compressors
must provide high flow (at least 100 L/min) at the standard working pressure of 50 pounds per square
inch gauge (psig) for all equipment in use.
What do the markings on an oxygen cylinder signify? ANS -Cylinder markings
-Date tested
-Inspector's mark
-Passed inspection (+)
-Next inspection in 10yrs (*)

What 2 pressure relief devices are typically incorporated into cylinder valve construction? ANS -These
relief valves are of three basic designs: frangible disk, fusible plug, and spring-loaded. The frangible
metal disk ruptures at a specific pressure. The fusible plug melts at a specific temperature. The spring-
loaded valve opens and vents gas at a set high pressure. In each case, the activated valve vents gas from
the cylinder and prevents pressure from becoming too high.
These safety relief valves are always located in the cylinder valve stems.
Most small cylinders have ANS -a fusible plug relief valve.
Most large cylinders have ANS -a spring-loaded relief valve.
