Could anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for specifically for information regarding how much oxygen it is safe to store 'indoors' when it is being used by a client in a domestic premises. Regards FH

http://www.sciencedirect...cle/pii/0011227588901774 http://www.bcga.co.uk/ That's all I could find, and you have to pay for it - HSE guidance only relates to storage of o2 in gas phase. What information do the manufactures provide? I was always taught when condensing and making blue liquid (or liquid oxygen) it was time to get running....

LOX! Love it! I've spent many a happy hour filling lox pots and bulk storage tanks. It might help if you could elaborate on what this is being used for? Is this a LOX generator to provide breathing O2? I also wonder if your local BOC depot might have some ideas/information for you? The key issues are avoiding and oxygen enriched atmosphere and hydrocarbons such as grease, oils etc. Oh - and it's COLD!

Is the O being used for medical purposes e.g. to help a person breath; if so then there are differing parameters to the HSE guidance issued

Are you sure you are dealing with liquid oxygen? Could we have some more information, otherwise we could go completely up the wrong garden path.

Surely you are talking about gas cylinders and if so I would say one extra cylinder is sufficient

I suspect that this isn't LOX. I have dealt with this before but can't find the previous correspondence/advice but one in use and one in storage seems appropriate. The suppliers provide all the necessary advice as I recall.
