“Aviator’s breathing oxygen” is marked on all oxygen cylinders designed for use in Aircraft.
Gaseous oxygen is stored in high-pressure cylinders rated for 1800–1850 psi of pressure and capable of maintaining pressure up to 2,400 psi.
Most oxygen storage cylinders are painted green, but yellow and other colors may be used as well.
The manufactured date, certication number and hydrostatic test dates are stamped on each cylinder near the neck.
Oxygen cylinders are considered empty when the pressure inside drops below 50 psi.
Any installed tank allowed to fall below this pressure should be removed from service because water get entrapped and corrode the cylinder walls.
