Are the valves of industrial oxygen cylinders and medical oxygen cylinders the same

The valves of industrial oxygen cylinders and medical oxygen cylinders are similar in function, but there are some differences.

1, the similarity of function: control of oxygen flow: whether industrial oxygen cylinders or medical oxygen cylinders, their valves are designed to control the flow of oxygen, so that the user can properly adjust the amount of oxygen supply according to need.

2, the difference: different requirements: medical oxygen cylinders are mainly used in the medical field, the purity and safety of oxygen have higher requirements. Therefore, valves for medical oxygen cylinders usually have stricter quality control standards and more stringent testing procedures to ensure that they meet the needs of medical use.

3. Manual/Automatic Operation: Valves for industrial oxygen cylinders usually require manual operation to regulate oxygen flow. Whereas the valves of medical oxygen cylinders may have automatic control features, such as automatic adjustment of the oxygen supply based on the patient's breathing pattern or demand.

4. Hysteresis device: The valves of medical oxygen cylinders are usually equipped with an anti-hysteresis device to ensure a stable supply of oxygen. This means that even if the pressure inside the cylinder decreases, the valve can maintain a relatively stable supply of oxygen to meet the needs of the medical device or the patient. It should be noted that the design standards and requirements for industrial and medical oxygen cylinders vary in different countries or regions. Therefore, in specific cases, appropriate oxygen cylinders and valves should be selected and used in accordance with applicable regulations and standards to ensure their safe and effective use
