"Commercial oxygen is used in great quantities for welding and cutting and for medical use in hospitals and ambulances. Aviator's berating oxygen is similar to that used for commercial purposes, except that it is additionally processed to remove almost all of the water. Water in aviation oxygen could freeze in the valves and orifices and stop the flow of oxygen when an aircraft is fling in cold conditions found at high altitude. Because of the additional purity required, aircraft oxygen systems must never be serviced with any oxygen that does not meet the specifications for aviator's breathing oxygen. This is usually military specification MIL-O-27210. These specifications requi4re the oxygen to have no more than two milliliters of water per liter of gas."
