How long will a ml6 oxygen cylinder last?

An ML6 oxygen cylinder, when "charged" to normal pressures, holds 170 liters of oxygen. How long that will last depends on a number of factors. If the flow is set to 2 liters per minute continuous then it will last less than 1 and 1/2 hours. If an oxygen conserving device is used (they give the gas in pluses when breaths are taken) it can last over 4 hours.

What are the differences between SNUBA and scuba diving?

With scuba diving, you are diving with an oxygen tank on your back and a regulator in your mouth. For SNUBA, there isn't an oxygen pack on your back, instead your oxygen supply is a long hose attached to a raft on the surface of the water.


How long will a size h oxygen cylinder last?

This will depend upon the gas flow rate. A size E oxygen cylinder in the UK contains 680 litres of compressed gas. At a flow of 10L/min for medical emergency use the cylinder will therefore last 68 mins. However if used at 6L/min it will last nearly 2 hours. In the US we use PSIG (gauge level). at full a tank is about 2200 PSI on any given tank size, and the E cylinder has a tank factor of 0.28. So you take take the PSI and multiple it by by the tank factor and divide that number by the flow rate. So at full, 2200 x 0.28 = 616 and dvided that by the flow rate. The final number is the total number of minutes at the given flow rate. So at 2 liters per minute (2 lpm) a completely full E cylinder will last 308 minutes or 5.13 hours (divide total minutes by 60 to get hours). 140 minutes at 4lpm, and so on. You deffinetly want to call your oxygen supplier well before the guage gets to the red. With most guages the very start of the red line (the end farthest from empty) is around 500 PSI. A good rule of thumb is to round down to the nearest whole hour when figuring duration. So when I've needed to I look at 5.16 hours and say 5 hours. If you do run out or are into the red already, call 911 (or your local emergency service), all ambulances carry oxygen and better to have them arrive and use their O2 than to call your oxygen service because ambulance should be able to get their faster. Remember, at the very beginning of red (500 PSIG) a E cylinder will only last 140 divided by flow rate...so 70 minutes at 2lpm, 35 minutes at 4lpm, etc. Dont risk it, when in red, call 911 first, then your oxygen supplies...that is as long as you dont have any other cylinders to use. common tank factors: H Cylinder factor is 3.14 D cylinder factor is 0.16 (typical portable oxygen size) * in the USA, all oxygen tanks, when completely full, are 2200 PSI, if you know the tank factor, you can easily compute the duration. Calculating liquid oxygen is a whole nother ball of wax....


Why can a person last 1 minute without oxygen?

A person can last 4 minutes without oxygen, longer in extreme cold. It takes that long for the body to use up the oxygen in the blood.


What do you call a long cylinder?

How long will a size G oxygen cylinder last?

Depending on the flow rate. A G tank holds 5,300 liters of Oxygen. so just divide that buy the rate you are setting it to flow at. A non-rebreather at 15 lpm should last you close to 6 hrs. normally though the tank should be refilled before it gets down to around 200 psi, just to be safe.


How long would a fire last with a limited amount of oxygen?

The is not enough information to answer this. We need to know what is burning, how much, and how fast, and how much oxygen we have.


Is argon lethal?

It is not toxic but because it takes up space it can displace oxygen and we can't last long breathing an atmosphere without oxygen.
