Oxygen cylinders are constructed of seamless drawn steel to contain compressed oxygen. They are annealed, tested, and threaded to accommodate an outlet valve and cylinder cap. Oxygen cylinders are made in several sizes, but the most frequently used cylinder in welding and cutting contains approximately 7 m3 (250 ft3) at a pressure of 15 MPa (2200 psig) at 21°C (70°F).
