Oxygen Cleaning your O2 bottle?

[JDostal]

We have a homebuilt rack. We have a vertical tube with a lot of holes drilled in it that is built into a stand. The stand is made of pipe and we can just feed a hair dryer (set to low..... ) into it. Dries tanks nice and quick. Steel can be a PITA w/ flash rust but it works stellar for AL.

Take a low pressure hose hooked up to your 1st stage with no 2nd stage regulator on it and blow out the tank, probably want to make sure you have some o2 clean air you're using.

Any suggestions for effective blow out ? How can we ensure that all hymidity will go away ?

Rinse well with HOT water upside down. Blow dry while still warm with clean air or if you really want to be fancy to minimize flash rust, bottled nitrogen.

If you don't understand what's involved and someone else is actually filling this tank the moral thing to do is let the filler O2 clean it.

I've also had good luck with *hot* water and then blowing out the tank with "O2-clean" air (LP hose off a first stage). We build a stand out of wood that holds the cylinder upside down to make this easier. Be careful, the cylinder itself will be extremely warm.
