Quite often, when reading techdiver, I have come across discussions about where
to obtain the various gases. Most references to oxygen, in particular, imply
that "welding oxygen" is no different from "medical oxygen". If this is indeed
the case (not forgetting that I am in the U.K.), then my club's annual
expenditure on the fill for its emergency oxygen supply cylinder seems
extortionate.
Can anyone assure me, one way or the other, that "welding O2" is no different
from "medical O2".
Are there any differences between the grades supplied in the U.S. and those
supplied in the U.K.?
Does the U.K H.S.E have anything to say on the matter?
thanks in anticipation and regards,
JT
