KNOW WHEN TO REFILL.
Select a cylinder level and watch how oxygen and nitrous gauges respond.
OXYGEN
Compressed gas
Example: full cylinder
NITROUS
Liquid + vapor
May remain steady as gas is used
Oxygen pressure decreases as gas is used. Nitrous pressure may remain nearly constant while liquid remains.
Educational examples only. Oxygen readings assume a 2,000 PSI full cylinder at approximately constant temperature. Nitrous pressure is temperature-dependent and cannot reliably indicate cylinder contents while liquid remains. Reorder according to your facility's inventory, delivery schedule, and backup supply procedures. These example pressures do not establish remaining safe treatment time.
