What LibertyCES's vendor documentation shows

Liquid oxygen is an air-separation product and AVCO names it explicitly on both cryogenic series; the 900 Series names ambient oxygen service. Moderate because the vendor says 'liquid oxygen,' not 'air separation.' Oxygen service also carries cleanliness/ignition-hazard requirements neither page details — route to engineering review rather than quoting off the datasheet.

Install / Failure Note

Oxygen service carries cleanliness and ignition-hazard requirements neither AVCO page details — route to engineering review rather than quoting a cryogenic ball valve off the datasheet alone for liquid oxygen duty.

AVCO says 'liquid oxygen,' not 'air separation' — a real, precise distinction worth holding onto, since oxygen cleanliness/ignition-hazard prep is a separate spec question from the pressure/temperature rating the datasheet actually answers.
