Solid chemical oxygen supplies of interest to aircraft operations are "chlorate candles" and potassium superoxide (KO2). Chlorate candles are used in passenger oxygen supply units and other emergency oxygen systems, such as submarines and escape devices. Potassium superoxide is not used in aircraft operations but is used in closed-cycle breathing apparatus. Characteristics and applications of both are discussed, with emphasis on chlorate candles.

This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) specifies work area details, cleaning methods, test methods, and specifications for oxygen clean parts and packaging materials.
This standard applies to pressure reducers for gaseous breathing oxygen systems and for all performance profiles without regard to particular inlet or outlet pressures. Attention is given, however, to construction requirements for reducers with maximum supply pressures to 2250 psig (155 bar) and reduced pressures of 50 to 150 psig (3.4 to 10.5 bar).
This standard is designed to cover all types of pressure reducers required for oxygen systems and for all performance profiles without regard for a particular inlet pressure or outlet pressure performance curve. Special attention will be given, however, to construction requirements essential in reducers where critical high initial oxygen pressures such as 1850 to 2250 psig (12.76 to 15.51 MN/m2 gauge) at 70° F (21.1° C) are involved.

This specification applies to a chemical oxygen generator assembly for the following uses: a First aid treatment of passenger cabin occupants after emergency descent in a turbine engine powered airplane with pressurized cabin, as specified in FAR 121.333, Para. e (3). b By cabin attendants to maintain their mobility after cabin decompression.
This Aerospace Information Report (AIR) indicates those dimensions, deemed critical by the manufacturer to assure proper mating of disconnect hose fittings. The dimensions are critical, but not necessarily complete, in defining these fittings since there are other criteria which must also be met.

The scope of this document is to provide a guideline for the preparation of a plan for testing of inservice chemical oxygen generators to confirm their design useful life. The test program should also allow determination with a sufficient level of confidence, whether generators are suitable for further use (i.e., life extension, or if the useful life limit has been reached).
This document provides recommended guidelines for a comprehensive program to determine the useful life of chemical oxygen generators where useful life is defined as the sum of shelf and service life. Further, this document provides for a test program to determine with a sufficient level of confidence if the generators are suitable for further use and/or if the life limit has been reached. This program should include testing of generators of a representative sampling of a given year's production, of a particular part number, to provide a level of confidence sufficient to permit the units to be used for an additional specified time period.

This standard is intended to establish general material and design requirements for oxygen flow indicating devices. Flow indicators considered are for diluter-demand and continuous flow systems.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines the overall requirements applicable to oxygen flow indication as required by Airworthiness Requirements of CS/FAR 25.1449 to show that oxygen is being delivered to the dispensing equipment. Requirements of this document shall be applicable to any type of oxygen system technology and encompass “traditional” pneumatic devices, as well electric/electronic indication.
This ARP delineates requirements for system cleanliness, test gas supply system, test stand design, environmental chamber definition, instrumentation, dynamic test equipment and testing procedures.

This standard covers oronasal type masks which use a continuous flow oxygen supply. Each such mask comprises a facepiece with valves as required, a mask suspension device, a reservoir, or rebreather bag (when used), a length of tubing for connection to the oxygen supply source, and a means for allowing the crew to determine if oxygen is being delivered to the mask. The assembly shall be capable of being stowed suitably to meet the requirements of its intended use.
