Is there any difference between a tank of welding oxygen vs

even dangerous) for helping to supplement breathing / respiration

it's the same.

Ummm..... no, it's not. Read the other responses in this thread from
people who actually know the difference.

i read the responses. It's the same.

So the people who said it's not the same are wrong?


the people who said they're different said it a long time ago when they
actually were different.
Times have changed,they no longer actually are different.


Uh-huh. Right. Welding oxygen is certified just as pure as medical oxygen, no
contaminants. Suuuurrrrre it is. That's why they use welding oxygen in
hospitals.
