A. 45 min
B. 1 hour 19 min
C. 1 hour 5 min
D. 1 hour 30 min

2. A size G cylinder of oxygen has a remaining pressure of 2000 psi. The patient’s flow rate is 10 L/min. When will the tank be completely empty?

A. 10 hours 10 min
B. 9 hours 8 min
C. 8 hours 2 min
D. 5 hours

3. Correctly match the Oxygen cylinder conversion factor to correct tank size.

A. D tank = 3.14,  E tank = 0.28, G tank = 2.41, H tank =  0.16
B. D tank = 0.16,  E tank = 0.28, G tank = 2.41, H tank = 3.14
C. D tank = 0.28, E tank = 0.16, G tank = 3.14, H tank = 2.41
D. D tank = 0.16, E tank = 2.41, G tank = 0.28, H tank = 3.14

A. 1000 psi
B. 378 psi
C. 429 psi
D. 1240 psi

## Liquid Oxygen Duration Test Question: • Duration: Oxygen remaining in liquid O2 cylinder in min
• Capacity: Liquid O2 in cylinder in L
• Factor to convert liquid to gaseous O2
• Reading on cylinder (example 0.33)
• Flow: O2 flow rate L/min

6. The liquid capacity of a home liquid oxygen system is 40 Litres. The home care patient uses the system for 8 hours during sleep at a flow of 3 L/min. How many days with the home oxygen system last?

A. 24 days
B. 29 days
C. 42 days
D. 12 days
