Oxygen gas that has been converted to a pale blue liquid by cooling it to a temperature below 183ºC.
Liquid is the highest purity form in which oxygen is supplied It is also far more efficient to store oxygen as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas since each volume of liquid will give more than 500 volumes of gas when it is converted to gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
