Help me figure out my oxygen tank!

[mrrrkva]

I bought a nice Oxygen tank, and a regulator that was supposed to go with it..... I must be missing a piece.. What do I need to put these gauges on this tank..... Or what kind of gauges do I need?

 

[Hauntedyards]

I could be wrong but I think your tank post needs one of these...

Which slides over the square post and clamps on...

They can be pricey...

I am trying to use this to aerate wort..... Do I need to start over?

Will this one work?

And do I need the flow meter piece too?

How hard is it to change the VALVE so I can use a normal regulator?

I would go with this one
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=150788971655&index=4&nav=SEARCH&nid=22667288849

It is a 0 to 8 lpm(liters per minute). It has a finer control. These have set points, so you can go .25 lpm,.5 lpm, .75 lpm, etc.

btw the reg you have looks like the ones on the wall in the hospial that control the o2 from a central aource.

Check out the one I linked, get a lower lpm guage. But it looks like the one you link has the yoke to connect to your tank. That one looks like you can dial in any amount of o2

That regulator is for high pressure oxygen tanks like the ones used in oxy/acetylene cutting.

The tank looks like a medical grade oxygen tank.

You cannot connect the two.

I don't know much about medical oxygen tanks or if you can change the valve to fit your regulator. I'm not sure if the threads are the same between the tanks.

Do you know if the tank you have has a current hydro test? If not nobody will fill it for you unless it does.

 

[mrrrkva]

It is Current. Great looking tank. I ordered a regulator and an airstone. Hopefully I will be in Business!

Medical tanks can't be filled without a prescription by law... just found out after buying second hand, then when trying to fill it the gas guy almost even got nervous that I had it in his store.
Ended up buying a welding oxygen tank.
Yours does not look anything like either my medical or welding tank, so I can't give any better advice sorry!

 

[dmfa200]

Looks like the CGA-870 regulator does fit your tank.

Good luck

Make friends with volunteer EMT or Firefighters. Many have fill stations for such tanks.
