Importance of flowmeter and oxygen regulator in medical

 Oxygen cylinders normally come at a pressure of 200 Ba. You cannot connect the mask directly to the bottle. So you need a flowmeter. Keep in mind that there are bottles that come with the integrated flowmeter. So, in this case, you could connect the mask to the bottle's flowmeter.

What are flowmeters?

Medical Oxygen Flowmeter or pressure regulators are devices that reduce the pressure from the oxygen source to its supply. In addition, at the same time, it will allow us to measure and control the flow of oxygen supplied to the patient. They also allow you to know how much oxygen is left in your bottle.

What types of flowmeters are there?

Flowmeters for o2 cylinders

This type of flow meter or regulator is connected directly to the bottle and has a standard connection that is suitable for any size of oxygen bottle (2 litters, 3 litters, 5, 10) Bottle flowmeter with built-in pressure gauge and flow regulation through a selector. The manometer informs us of the remaining oxygen left in the bottle. This type of Oxygen Flowmeter can regulate the flow through a thread or selector. The most common ones can regulate the flow between 0 l/min and 15 l/min.

Oxygen Flow Meter have built-in pressure gauge and fixed flow rate. This type of flowmeter maintains a fixed flow rate of 5 l/m.

Oxygen flowmeter

Flowmeter with built-in pressure gauge and flow measurement by float meter.
Flowmeter for O2 bottle with suction: Includes manometer, flow screw selector, and simultaneously has the suction option.
Flow meters for oxygen facilities such as hospital networks, ambulances, etc. Depending on your network connection.

Flowmeter with meter: the measured supplied oxygen flow is carried out by a floating meter. In this type of flowmeter, the most common regulation is 0-15 l/min. Flowmeter with built-in regulator and flow rate level selector supplied to the patient. The flow regulation is usually 0-25 l/min.

Flowmeter with regulator

All flowmeters have a fixture incorporated in the lower part, whether for oxygen cylinders or oxygen supply networks. This way, the oxygen line is connected to the oxygen mask for administration.

Can a humidifying glass be connected to the flowmeter?

If you remove the pin, you can connect a humidifier glass as an intermediate step between the flowmeter and the oxygen mask. The function of the humidifying vessels is to maintain humidity in the airways and prevent them from drying out and becoming irritated.

How does the oxygen flowmeter work?

Regarding its operation, they show you how to connect the flowmeter to the bottle step by step. In this case, the regulator is a flowmeter with an integrated pressure gauge.
