I learned something about oxygen bottles when I became a miner. My dad got me started gas welding and brazing when I was just a kid but he never mentioned this to me. The oxy bottle valve has 2 seats in the valve, 1 at closed of course and the other at full open. The valve not opened to the full amount it is very likely that it will leak around the valve shaft. Of course I had to test this bit of information and I'll be darned if that MSHA inspector/instructor wasn't right.
