Liquid Oxygen - Pale Blue Cryogenic Fluid, High Expansion Rate And Ignition Hazard Awareness

Running through successfully business journey, we at "ELLENBARRIE INDUSTRIAL GASES LTD." are engaged as manufacturer and supplier of Liquid Oxygen in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Liquid Oxygen is pale blue in color, odorless and has a boiling point of -297oF (-183oC). When liquid Oxygen spills occur there is the danger that the liquid will saturate or mix with some combustible material and that the mixture is subject to ignition. Ignition can be caused by hot objects, sparks or the heat of compression such as a tire rolling over an asphalt surface. Liquid oxygen spillages, if allowed to soak into organic matter, such as wood, petrochemicals, and asphalt can cause these materials to deto-nate unpredictably on subsequent mechanical impact. As with other cryogenic liquids, on contact with the human body, liquid oxygen can cause frostbites to the skin and the eyes. Liquid Oxygen expands rapidly when it evaporates to a gaseous state. One cubic foot of Liquid Oxygen expands to 861 cubic feet of gas at the same pressure.
