oxygen cylinder

Pressurized air container

A metal container holding compressed oxygen gas, used in medical settings, welding, diving, and other applications requiring portable oxygen supply.

Medical oxygen cylinders provide supplemental breathing support; industrial cylinders fuel cutting torches.

The paramedics grabbed the oxygen cylinder from the ambulance.

Size ranges from small portable tanks to large stationary units.
