Safety of ethylene glycol and pressurized oxygen

ADVERTISEMENT

We are reviewing the product design of liquid filled differential level gauges and want to insure that they meet the industry requirements. The former license owner had authorized that a fill fluid of ethylene glycol (68%) and distilled water (32%) could be used for oxygen service up to 500 psi. Normally the fill fluid would never contact the oxygen media, but in the case of a failure it would be possible for a leak to occur between the oxygen and the fill fluid. Do you have any data on the safety of ethylene glycol and pressurized oxygen? If so, how might I have access to the information? If not, would you have any suggestions of whom I might contact?
