d. The Contractor is required to provide a legible signed and/or electronic delivery slip/ticket that has been signed and dated by the deliverer as well as countersigned by the VA facility representative supervising the delivery.

e. A copy of all inspection reports shall be provided to the facility COR upon the completion of any government owned bulk oxygen system inspections that are required by regulation.

f. All contractor-owned equipment shall be maintained or repaired in accordance with State and Federal Regulations.

g. Density data and volume measurement equivalents published in Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet No. P-6, titled “Standard Density Data, Atmospheric Gases and Hydrogen,” shall be used when necessary to convert measurement of gases from one form to another. For example, the following conversion factor shall apply for conversion from gallons to cubic feet.

Calculation based on data in Compressed Gas Association (CGA) Pamphlet No. P-6, for Oxygen:

1 ft3 liquid 02 = 860.6 ft3 gas (Table 1) 1 ft3 liquid 02 = 7.48052 gal (Table 2)

Therefore:

7.48052 gal (1 ft3) liquid 02 = 860.6 ft3 gas

1 gal liquid 02 = 860.6 ft3 gas 7.48052

1 gal liquid 02 = 115.05 ft3 gas or more commonly quoted as 1 gal liquid 02 = 115.1 ft3 gas maintenance and testing of contractor-owned cylinders.
