industrial grade vs medical grade o2

[mgamer20o0]

ok prob there is a answer here already but anyways i am lazy......

whats the differance? i can get a cheap bottle of industrail grade o2 but everywhere always says medical grade o2........ any ideas? ill still have to get the regulator and nozle.

Medical grade has to go through process of approval (FDA regulations) for purity and cleanliness.
Industrial grade doesn't have the same rules since it's usually used in torches and stuff like that.

in other words pay the money for the med grade.....

Industrial grade oxygen is fine for fish. There is no point in getting a guaranteed purity grade of oxygen (I do ship a lot of fish).

in the end i guess it would be better then just reg oxygen.

thanks this shipping fish is new to me only really done plants. i really dont want to kill off any fish.

industrial grade is probably the same thing, just not certified. The extra money comes with the extra red tape.

yup it's true that extra cash is to run it thru another refinery then get it tested and ceritified.

Great question. I have wondered this myself. Since I allways have feeders die on the way hme I have thought about getting a O2 bottle. and just bagging myself so I know they have a better chance for suvival.


Good question. glad someone finally asked.
