ALWAYS FILL THE VESSEL WITH OXYGEN TO A MAXIMUM PRESSURE OF 3000KPA (30 BAR).
NOTE: With some applications you may need to fill the Vessel to less than 3000KPA e.g. 1500KPA (15
bar), however this is only applicable when you have a sample which is highly combustible, for
example with wood related samples.
REMEMBER: You may fill the Vessel LESS than 3000KPA but NEVER more than 3000KPA.
HIGH PRESSURE OXYGEN

The type of Oxygen to be used is the standard Industrial Oxygen used for welding. A purity of 99.5% will be
suitable.
