oxygen cylinders

Portable air containers

Oxygen cylinders are pressurized metal containers that store and dispense oxygen gas, used in medical settings, diving, welding, and high-altitude environments.

Hospitals keep them for patients needing supplemental oxygen; divers carry them underwater; welders use them for cutting torches.

The paramedics grabbed the oxygen cylinder from the ambulance.
