Rama Oxygen Cylinder — A Trusted Name for Safe Oxygen Therapy

When someone in your family needs supplemental oxygen, the brand you choose matters more than most people realize. The Rama Oxygen Cylinder has built its reputation in Bangladesh over years of use in hospitals, clinics, and home care — largely because it’s manufactured in India under ISO certification, which means a documented quality standard sits behind every unit, not just a marketing claim.

What’s actually inside this cylinder

This is a B-Type cylinder with a 10-litre water capacity and a seamless steel body rated to a working pressure of 200 kgf/cm². At that pressure, it holds approximately 1.36 cubic meters — around 1,360 litres — of medical-grade oxygen at 99.5%+ purity. Worth mentioning: a number of listings online for this exact cylinder show wildly inconsistent capacity figures, sometimes as low as 14 litres, which isn’t physically accurate for this cylinder type. We’re giving you the real, verified spec so you know exactly what you’re buying.

Why Rama over Linde, China, or Islam Oxygen

China-brand cylinders are usually the cheapest option, but manufacturing standards behind them vary and aren’t always documented. Linde/BOC sits at the premium end and is common in larger hospital settings. Rama tends to land in the middle — ISO-certified consistency at a price that works for both home use and clinical settings, which is exactly why it’s remained one of the more widely trusted names for oxygen therapy in Bangladesh.

Who needs this, and when

Home oxygen support is most often needed by patients managing COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or heart-related breathing difficulty. It’s also common during recovery from surgery or post-COVID recovery, when oxygen saturation (SpO2) can temporarily drop. The general clinical guidance is that supplemental oxygen becomes necessary when SpO2 falls below 90%, and only under a doctor’s direction. At a 2 LPM flow rate, this cylinder typically provides 8–10 hours of backup — though that drops if the flow rate is increased.

Handling and storage

Keep the cylinder upright in a well-ventilated space, away from any electrical equipment or open flame — oxygen itself doesn’t burn, but it accelerates how fast a fire spreads. If there’s any risk of it tipping over, secure it with a strap or stand. Use gloves when attaching or removing the regulator, and always open the valve slowly rather than all at once. Never adjust the flow rate beyond what your doctor has prescribed.

Delivery and refills

Home delivery is available within Dhaka, along with a refill service once the cylinder runs empty — there’s no need to buy a new one each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Rama Oxygen Cylinder last?
At a 2 LPM flow rate, you can expect roughly 8–10 hours of backup. Higher flow rates will reduce that duration.

How do I know if a Rama Oxygen Cylinder is genuine?
Look for the ISO certification mark and “Made in India” stamped on the cylinder body, along with a clean, seamless steel finish — not a welded or patched surface.

Rama vs China oxygen cylinder — which is better?
China cylinders are cheaper but don’t carry consistent certification across sellers. Rama’s ISO certification means more predictable quality control.

What happens when the cylinder runs out?
Contact our refill service — there’s no need to purchase a new cylinder each time.

What’s included when I order?
The cylinder itself, plus a flow meter, oxygen mask, nasal cannula, and a trolley for easy movement.
