Choosing a liquid oxygen tank

Size an oxygen tank by the mass of oxygen you need between deliveries, not only by its volume. One litre of liquid oxygen becomes about 860 litres of gas, so a compact cryogenic tank replaces many high-pressure cylinders and cuts handling and changeovers.

The working pressure class sets how much liquid a tank can hold and the pressure available at your outlet. A pressure-building circuit keeps the tank at pressure, and an ambient vaporiser turns liquid into gas at the flow rate your process needs.

Pressure equipment used in South Africa falls under the Pressure Equipment Regulations. The design code and conformity route are confirmed with the manufacturer before you order. Read more in our guide to buying pressure equipment for use in South Africa.

Oxygen tank questions

What sizes of liquid oxygen tank do you supply?

Liquid oxygen storage from about 1,000 kg to 100,000 kg: micro-bulk tanks from 1 m³, bulk tanks from 10 m³ to 200 m³ in vertical or horizontal form, and liquid cylinders from 175 L to 1,000 L. Tell us the mass of oxygen you need and we quote the right tank.

How much oxygen does a 1 m³ tank hold?

The 1 m³ micro-bulk tank holds up to 1,083 kg of liquid oxygen, according to the manufacturer's parameter sheet. The usable mass depends on the working pressure class, which is confirmed in your quotation.

Are your oxygen tanks suitable for hospitals and medical oxygen?

Yes. Cryogenic oxygen tanks are widely used for hospital and clinic oxygen supply. The design code, documentation and installation requirements for your facility are confirmed in the quotation.

Who makes the oxygen tanks?

FGR Online is the registered distributor for Southern Africa for Hong Hui Machinery (Binzhou Honghui Machinery Co., Ltd.), which makes cryogenic storage tanks for liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and LNG.

Do you deliver oxygen tanks outside South Africa?

Yes. We supply businesses in South Africa and across Africa, with door or port delivery quoted per shipment, including the route, Incoterm and estimated transit time.

What do I need to send for a quote?

The medium (liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon or CO2), the mass or volume you need to store, your daily consumption, the working pressure at the point of use, the site location and any design code or documentation your site requires.

Have a specification? Send it.

Datasheets, drawings, nameplate photos or a list of part numbers are all useful. Attach them to a quote request, or send them to us on WhatsApp.
