How much oxygen do glass artists use?

Soft glass beadmakers typically burn around 50 cubic feet/day (about 4–5 days per K-tank), while borosilicate artists can use 265 cubic feet/day (often more than one K-tank daily).

Usage depends on flame size, torch type, and hours at the bench. Tracking your flow rates and torch time helps you plan oxygen supply, avoid mid-project shortages, and decide whether cylinders, concentrators, or LOX make the most sense for your studio.
