FAQ's

Q. What accessories are needed with an oxygen cylinder?

Common accessories include a flow meter, nasal cannula, oxygen regulator, humidifier bottle, and carrying bag. Some cylinders come as a complete kit for easy home use.

Q. Why choose an aluminium oxygen cylinder over a steel cylinder?

Aluminium cylinders are lighter, easier to carry, and resistant to rust and corrosion. They are particularly useful for home care, elderly patients, and portable oxygen therapy.

Q. Can I use the cylinder for emergency situations?

Yes, this cylinder is ideal for emergency oxygen supply, hospital backup, or sudden respiratory distress situations.

Q. What is the price of a 3 litre oxygen cylinder in India?

The 3 litre oxygen cylinder price in India ranges from ₹5,500 for steel variants to ₹7,500 for premium aluminium models. Our aluminium oxygen cylinder 3.1 ltr is priced at ₹7,500 (discounted from ₹9,000), offering superior portability and rust resistance compared to steel alternatives. This price includes the cylinder only; accessories like regulator, trolley, and humidifier are sold separately.

Q. How much does an oxygen tank weigh?

Our aluminium oxygen cylinder weight is approximately 3 kg when empty, making it one of the lightest portable options available. When fully filled, it weighs around 3.5-4 kg total. This is 40-50% lighter than equivalent steel cylinders which weigh 5-6 kg empty, making aluminium ideal for elderly patients, home care settings, and users with mobility limitations.

Q. What is the difference between 3 kg and 3 litre oxygen cylinders?

The terms can be confusing: "3 kg" refers to the oxygen cylinder weight (how much the empty cylinder weighs), while "3 litre" indicates the water capacity (internal volume). A 3 litre capacity cylinder typically weighs between 3-6 kg when empty, depending on whether it's made from lightweight aluminium or heavier steel. Our 3.1 ltr aluminium cylinder weighs approximately 3 kg empty, combining both measurements efficiently.

Q. How long does a 3.1 litre oxygen cylinder last?

At 150 Bar pressure, a 3.1 ltr cylinder lasts approximately 7.75 hours at 1 LPM flow rate, 3.87 hours at 2 LPM, or 1.55 hours at 5 LPM. Actual duration varies based on the flow rate prescribed by your doctor. For comparison, 5 litre oxygen cylinder duration would be about 60% longer at the same flow rates. Always monitor the pressure gauge and refill when pressure drops below 50 Bar.
