Pressurized oxygen is O2 that is under more than the normal air pressure of 24 pounds per square inch.

Is pressurized oxygen combustible?

Pressurized oxygen itself is not combustible, but it can enhance combustion. If a fuel source is present, pressurized oxygen can significantly increase the rate and intensity of a fire. Safety precautions are necessary when handling pressurized oxygen to prevent combustion accidents.


Why are airplane cabins pressurized?

Airplane cabins are pressurized because humans cannot breath at a very high elevation.Aircraft are pressurized to allow them to fly higher. Without pressurization, the amount of oxygen in the air would not be sufficient for humans to breathe.


How can people breathe in a plane?

During flight the cabin is pressurized with oxygen to match what it would be like on the ground.


What is the oxygen level of the air expected to be when flying in a pressurized cabin of a plane?

The percentage of Oxygen in the air is the same in airplane as it is outside the airplane. The only difference is the pressure levels. If the pressure drops too much then the total amount of Oxygen will be insufficient for you to breath and you will pass out. The airplane only carries oxygen for use in emergency and is dispensed in the oxygen masks of the crew and passengers. Maybe your Question is asking what the total volume of oxygen is available in a pressurized airplane. I don't know that.


What is composition of medical oxygen the patient receives in hospitals?

Medical oxygen is supplied at 99.5% pure O2. Do not confuse this with medical air, which is just pressurized air.


What does a oxygen facial involve?

Oxygen facials help reduce the signs of aging. One would receive a steam of pressurized oxygen directly to the skin. Included with the oxygen is vitamins and minerals. It begins with a cleansing before the oxygen is given.


Do compressed oxygen in a pressurized tank show a decrease in fluid pressure?

Yes, compressed oxygen in a pressurized tank will show a decrease in pressure as the gas is released from the tank. This is due to the gas expanding to fill the space as it exits the tank, resulting in a decrease in pressure within the tank itself.


Why do air liners have pressurized cabins?

Modern airliners fly at altitudes in excess of 30,000 feet. At such heights the air is very thin and humans cannot get enough oxygen. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can be fatal. A pressurized cabin, though, has air pressure and oxygen levels that are habitable and does not but people at any risk.


How is oxygen released from an oxygen tank?

The air is super compressed either in gas or liquid form in a pressurized tank. A regulator is attached and lets only a certain amount of psi through at a time. Without this regulator the bottle would take off like a rocket to the moon if it were to open somehow.


What do you need to where on Mars?

Well since there is no atmosphere you'll need to wear a space suit that is pressurized and you need a oxygen tank


Why do passenger aircraft have pressurized cabins?

To allow passengers to breathe sufficient oxygen, needed to survive, even in high altitudes.


How do astronauts breath with their suits off in their space shuttles?

Space shuttles are pressurized so that the oxygen stays inside the shuttle.
