Dec 04, 2022
Oxygen can be divided into industrial oxygen and medical oxygen. Because of the different uses of the two, there will be differences in quality requirements. Therefore, the two cannot be mixed. So, what is the specific difference between industrial oxygen and medical oxygen?
Oxygen used in industrial production and product processing has low quality requirements, and there are impurities harmful to human body such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and acetylene. Medical oxygen is used in rescue and adjuvant treatment of patients. Since 2000, medical oxygen has been listed as a drug for management in China. The standard sets the concentration of medical oxygen at not less than 99.5%. At the same time, harmful gases and impurities such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide must be filtered during the production process, and it is stipulated that the medical oxygen certificate must be attached to the oxygen cylinder. In addition, on the bottle body The words "Medical Oxygen" must be marked in big letters. Industrial oxygen is an industrial material, while medical oxygen is a life-saving medicine. It is absolutely not allowed to use industrial oxygen instead of medical oxygen to infuse patients.
