The BOC Cylinder

We are now just going to briefly look at the BOC Oxygen cylinder. Now we have looked at the SOS version, and this is just the BOC one just to show you that they are pretty much exactly the same. So this cylinder is the main bulk and cylinder. As you see it is quite the same. Rather than stickers on the cylinder, this one has a collar around the top and it shows all the same indications in the bar codes. The gauge on the front is there the same. Just taking the cover off here, so you can just see the feed where they refill the tank. On this end, you have got the main on/off switch. This is where it is slightly different from the other cylinder. You do need to turn this off, which primes the regulator, whereas the other one, you can control it all on one tap. On the back here, you have got the constant flow outlet. On the top, there is a knob where you just turn around to set the flow rate that you want. So that is the BOC cylinder. It looks exactly the same. A very similar type of product. So do not matter which brand you are using, both of them will give you oxygen at 15... Or up to 15 litres per minute.
BOC Oxygen Cylinder Overview
Introduction
In this section, we'll briefly examine the BOC Oxygen cylinder, comparing it to the SOS version to highlight similarities.
Main Features
The BOC Oxygen cylinder serves as the primary source of oxygen, akin to the SOS version.
Visual Comparison
While similar in function, the BOC cylinder differs slightly in appearance:
- Cylinder Design: Resembles the SOS version, featuring a collar instead of stickers with barcode indications.
- Front Gauge: Presents similar indicators and controls.
- Refill Point: Located beneath the cover, allowing access for tank refilling.
- Main Switch: Positioned at one end, requiring activation to prime the regulator.
- Constant Flow Outlet: Located at the back for oxygen distribution.
- Flow Rate Control: Adjusted via a knob on the top, enabling users to set their preferred flow rate.
Conclusion
The BOC Oxygen cylinder closely resembles the SOS version, offering a similar product experience. Regardless of the brand, both cylinders provide oxygen delivery of up to 15 litres per minute.
