Oxygen Tank :
Oxygen tanks are simply a tank that stores compressed oxygen in a gas form. A flow meter and a regulator are attached to the tank to adjust the oxygen flow. The tanks vary in size, from very large stationary tanks to tanks that are small enough to carry around. The compressed oxygen system is generally prescribed when oxygen is not needed all the time, such as only when walking or performing physical activity.
