Oxygen Cylinder - Size D

The standard portable medical oxygen cylinder for prehospital work: 14.6 cubic feet, roughly 415 liters, with a CGA870 post valve already installed and a packaged weight around seven pounds. It ships empty and takes no regulator with it — both of those are decisions you make before it goes on the truck, not after.

A cylinder without a regulator and without a fill is a paperweight. Buy the three pieces together or you will find out on a call.

D Cylinder Oxygen Duration Chart

How long a D cylinder lasts at common flow rates based on example regulator gauge readings. While a Size D cylinder has a nominal capacity of 14.6 cu ft (~415 L) at full rated service pressure, every figure below calculates usable duration from the gauge reading using the standard 0.16 L/psi D-cylinder planning factor, keeps a 200 psi safe residual in the tank, and is rounded down so the planning clock runs out before the oxygen does.

Estimated minutes of usable flow remaining at example gauge readings. D cylinder factor 0.16 L/psi · 200 psi safe residual · rounded down.
Example Gauge	Usable O₂	2 L/min	4 L/min	6 L/min	10 L/min	15 L/min
2,000 psi	288 L	144 min	72 min	48 min	28 min	19 min
1,500 psi	208 L	104 min	52 min	34 min	20 min	13 min
1,000 psi	128 L	64 min	32 min	21 min	12 min	8 min
500 psi	48 L	24 min	12 min	8 min	4 min	3 min

Run the numbers at any gauge reading

Minutes = (gauge psi − 200) × 0.16 ÷ flow in L/min

Example: gauge reads 1,200 psi, non-rebreather at 15 L/min → (1,200 − 200) × 0.16 ÷ 15 = 10.7 → call it 10 minutes.

Typical flow by delivery device

Nasal cannula: 1–6 L/min
Simple face mask: 6–10 L/min
Non-rebreather mask: 10–15 L/min, enough to keep the reservoir bag inflated
Bag-valve mask with reservoir: 15 L/min

The 0.16 L/psi factor with a 200 psi safe residual is the standard EMS planning figure for a D cylinder, distinguished from the cylinder's ~415 L (14.6 cu ft) nominal capacity at full rated fill pressure. Confirm exact rated service pressure and capacity markings on your delivered cylinder with your authorized medical-gas supplier, and always plan from what your regulator gauge reads, not from the nominal label. Flow rate and oxygen targets are set by your protocol and medical direction.

See the duration chart for assumptions and additional example gauge readings.
Compatible delivery devices	Any standard device driven by a CGA870 regulator — e.g. Non-Rebreather Mask (LX-NRB), Nasal Cannula (MEDTAC1109)

Duration figures are planning arithmetic that keeps a 200 psi safe residual, not a treatment plan. Compressed medical gas is regulated: handle, store, transport and fill this cylinder per applicable federal and state requirements, inspect for damage, verify fill level before patient use, and secure the regulator before transport.

▾Who Carries It

EMS services at BLS and ALS level running D cylinders as the standard portable size on the rig and in the jump bag · Fire and rescue maintaining an oxygen capability across apparatus · Tactical and event medical teams carrying oxygen forward where a larger cylinder is not portable · Clinics, forward aid stations and industrial response programs holding portable oxygen stock · Training programs needing standard-format cylinders for equipment familiarisation.

Scope of practice. Which patient receives oxygen, at what flow, and when to escalate are clinical decisions governed by your training, your protocol and your medical direction. Filling, storing and transporting compressed medical gas carries its own regulatory obligations that sit with the purchaser.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will a Size D oxygen cylinder last?

Usable duration depends on your actual regulator gauge pressure, prescribed flow rate, and safe residual reserve rather than nominal tank volume alone. While a Size D cylinder has an approximate nominal capacity of 14.6 cubic feet (~415 liters) at full rated service pressure, prehospital planning calculates usable minutes from the gauge reading using a 200 psi safe residual reserve and the standard 0.16 L/psi D-cylinder planning factor: Minutes = (gauge psi − 200) × 0.16 ÷ flow rate (L/min), rounded down. Using that formula at an example 2,000 psi gauge reading (288 L usable after a 200 psi reserve), estimated runtimes are approximately 19 minutes at 15 L/min, 28 minutes at 10 L/min, 48 minutes at 6 L/min, 72 minutes at 4 L/min, and 144 minutes at 2 L/min. Always verify cylinder pressure on the regulator gauge before patient use and refer to the D Cylinder Oxygen Duration Chart on this page for calculation assumptions and additional example gauge readings.

Does the Size D Oxygen Cylinder come filled?

The MED-TAC Size D Oxygen Cylinder ships empty and must be filled with medical-grade oxygen by an authorized medical gas supplier in your area before clinical use. This is standard for oxygen cylinder sales due to shipping regulations for compressed gases. After receiving the cylinder, contact your local medical gas supplier or medical gas distributor to have it filled. Cylinder fill cost and availability vary by location.

What regulator do I need for this cylinder?

The Size D Oxygen Cylinder uses a CGA870 post valve — the U.S. standard for portable medical oxygen cylinders. It requires a CGA870-compatible oxygen regulator, sold separately. The MED-TAC Mini O2 Regulator (MEDTAC1110) is compatible and provides 0–15 LPM adjustable constant flow. The cylinder wrench included with the regulator is used to open and close the cylinder valve.

Can I use this cylinder with a non-rebreather mask and a BVM?

Yes. When paired with a compatible CGA870 regulator (sold separately) set to 10–15 L/min, the Size D cylinder can supply oxygen to a non-rebreather mask for spontaneously breathing patients or to a bag-valve mask (BVM) reservoir bag inlet for patients requiring assisted ventilation. Because high-flow delivery (10–15 L/min) depletes portable cylinders quickly, always calculate usable runtime from your current gauge pressure, prescribed flow rate, and a 200 psi safe residual reserve before departure rather than relying on nominal capacity. Using the D Cylinder Oxygen Duration Chart on this page (0.16 L/psi factor with a 200 psi reserve), an example 2,000 psi gauge reading provides approximately 19 minutes at 15 L/min or 28 minutes at 10 L/min. Stage spare cylinders or larger onboard oxygen supplies according to expected transport duration, patient demand, and agency medical direction.

What are the safety requirements for storing and transporting a medical oxygen cylinder?

Oxygen cylinders must be stored upright and secured against falling, in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. Do not store in enclosed vehicle compartments for extended periods without ventilation. During transport, cylinders must be secured in a cylinder holder or bracket to prevent rolling or impact. Follow CGA (Compressed Gas Association) and DOT regulations for compressed medical gas handling. Never use oil or grease on oxygen fittings. Inspect cylinders regularly for damage, corrosion, or valve defects.
