<br />
An essential gas in lampworking that can come from [[high pressure tanks]], liquid [[dewars]], or direct from a concentrator. It is a highly reactive gas that may increase the potential and severity combustion with a fuel source. It is mainly used in conjunction with propane or natural gas to power pre mix and surface mix torches. <br />
<br />
'''Forms of Production and Containment'''<br />
<br />
*Oxygen [[concentrators]] can purify atmospheric gas in situ while a torch is running. These concentrators come in a variety of production rates and pressures. Some are even capable of filling compressed cylinders with oxygen when a [[microbooster]] is used. <br />
*[[High pressure tanks]] come in a variety of sizes, but most have compressed oxygen in excess of 2000[[psi]]. The tanks, although heavy, are portable unlike large concentrators or liquid tanks.<br />
*Liquid oxygen is available in small [[dewars]] or large cylinders full of liquid oxygen. It often has to vent when excess pressure is created by the gas heating up and expanding, thus wasting some gas.</div>BetaB
