Oxygen cylinders used for autogenous (cutting/welding) purposes are ___________________?

Correct answer: A. Seamless & made of steel

  • A. Seamless & made of steel
  • B. Heat treated before use
  • C. Made by sand casting
  • D. Welded steel cylinders

Explanation

High-pressure oxygen cylinders are made from seamless steel to avoid weld defects that could fail under pressure and to maintain gas purity. Sand-cast and welded cylinders are therefore unsuitable for this service.
