It is not necessarily the Oxygen that is different but the tank. The tanks look the same on the outside but are markered different. Medical oxygen tanks are held to a higher standard than industrial oxygen. Medical tanks are "Oxygen clean" whereas welding tanks may not be as clean. Medical oxygen is also dryer to prevent rust in the tanks.

Bull**** . That medical O2 comes out of the very same tanks as welding O2
.. And in some cases welding oxy is held to a higher standard of purity . And

The main difference is that Insurance won't pay for it out of the other
tanks. The other thing is that I don't know if the regulators are
similar enough to regulate how much O2 you get and if they are
compatible with the tubing for delivery.

It seems to me all this depends on what the intended concentration is in
the first place. If one is 100% O2, or 98% and the other is 92%,
they're both still way higher than air. As long as the other 2% or 8%
isn't poisonous, if it's nitirogen with a little helium and a trace of
argon and a bit of xenon, it's going to work for breathing for sure, and
I would think it would work great for a torch. As long as their
both high, it doesnt' seem to matter which has a higher standard.

Though I think AZ may be right and there shouldn't be too much water in
the tank or your lungs may rust.

I have never seen oxygen at a welding store that wasn't medical rated
on the label. Perhaps if you are just swapping a little prestolite
tank it might not be but the 80s and larger I see have the medical
label on them.

Medical/aviator 99.95% purity
Welding 99.99% purity
Analytical 99.999% purity

All filled from the same liquid oxygen supply, only the analytical grade
gets extra attention.

Your world is very different from mine. I was
using medical oxygen that was just compressed air
filtered for pollens and moisture. No liquid
oxygen used, just regular air from the
environment. I was surprised that was all the

That is not medical oxygen. Oxygen concentrators remove the nitrogen so
you get more O2. That would be medical oxygen.

On point that has been missed talking about the differences between
welding and medical oxygen. Medical has one important featu A

When you get an O2 concentrator, they also give you a couple of tanks
for portability, also covered. The best is actually to have liquid
oxygen and a fillable portable. This cost the supplier more and needs
more maintenance and insurance pays the same. Typical fill on a liquid
tank is 7 to 10 days.

A concentrator is electric so it does cost to operate. Liquid makes no
noise .

Insurance will pay for tanks for portability, but will not pay if you
call those same tanks as emergency backup for power failure.

The difference is a certification. Both are very pure, but legally, I

The only difference between the 2 is the bottle it comes out of. The
requirements for "industrial oxygen" are often higher than for medical
oxygen when it comes to purity.

The other difference is that your insurance won't pay for it. Don't know
how much of a problem that would be. I have also heard of some providers
such as home health nurses, etc., that won't deal with that part of your
care because of liability problems since it isn't labelled for medical use.

Yes it is big difference , Medical oxygen is purified and clean from any
other gases.
While industrial oxygen it is not and it is not recommended for breathing
use.

Not really, do you have the specifications? Picking up oxygen from one
supplier they are filling both types of tanks from the same source.
Once gets tagged, the other does not. The difference is the
certification.

Actually the reverse is true, if anything.ndustrial Oxygen
specifications are VERY stringent. A bit od Co2 ir Nitrogen in
breathing oxygen is not a problem - in industrial oxygen it can be
VERY critical.

Is there any difference between a tank of welding oxygen vs medical
oxygen as far as purity, concentration, hazardous impurities, etc, that
would render welding oxygen insufficient (or even dangerous) for helping
to supplement breathing / respiration ?

No it is the same stuff.

One might be cleaner more pure oxygen? The odd impurity in welding
oxygen isn't a problem.


I could have sworn this topic was beaten to death more than one time
since 2010.

You would be correct!

Should have used the other oxygen, it could have been kept alive.

Perhaps it was, but someone gave it oxygen and revived it.

I have and I've filled hundreds of tanks. The oxygen is the same from
the main tank. The difference is the tanks themselves. Medical tanks
are also tagged with lot numbers for traceability. Must also meet USP
specs for purity.

It makes sense for the oxygen company to go with the highest level of
purity in all cases.

Don't forget about aviation grade too.

I do not know what co. you work for but it seems that gas you have seen
it has being purified and filtered before it got there,
Organization I witnessed are in recovery business of few different gases.

Did they have different grades on the oxygen? Most gas companies have
argon, acetylene, helium, etc. but along the way they can sequester and
process oxygen to meet all requirements at the same time. Saves having
additional tanks.

No, I'd not use a tank from welding service for my medical oxygen but
barring potential contamination from the tank, is is the same stuff
loaded.

I hope it was 99.99% pure.

Read this link - the difference is in the chain of custody of the bottle. Medical Grade Oxygen is just oxygen - the bottle itself is presumed "clean" if it's labeled Medical. The oxygen inside is the same, no matter what the outside of the bottle says. http://www.ozonesolutions.com/info/i...ygen-different

The OP died long ago, when he began breathing from an Acetylene tank
while smoking a cigarette. Pieces of his lungs were found as far as 20
miles away.
