What causes oxygen regulators to explode?

Oxygen regulators can explode due to several factors, including the presence of flammable contaminants, excessive pressure, or malfunctioning components. When oxygen is under high pressure, any spark or heat can ignite flammable materials, leading to an explosion. Additionally, if the regulator is improperly maintained or used beyond its specifications, it can fail catastrophically. Proper storage, maintenance, and usage according to safety standards are essential to prevent such incidents.

If oxygen is exposed to a glowing ember will it explode?

It should not explode. With what would the oxygen combust? About 20% of the air is oxygen. Oxygen does not readily combine with itself. However, if you put a spark into a cup of liquid hydrogen, I bet it would react rather violently. And there is a YouTube video of a fellow igniting charcoal with liquid oxygen. The oxygen does not explode, but the fire burns the charcoal really well. And the barbecue. And eventually the ground below the grill.
