Oxygen Flowmeter

Precise Flow Control

Oxygen flowmeters provide accurate readings of oxygen flow rates, ensuring that patients receive the exact amount of oxygen prescribed by healthcare providers.

Improved Safety

Oxygen flowmeters are designed with safety features to handle high-purity oxygen, reducing the risk of combustion or contamination.

Enhanced Efficiency

By providing accurate flow measurements, oxygen flowmeters help optimize oxygen usage, reducing waste and improving process efficiency.

Compatibility with Various Systems

Oxygen flowmeters can be integrated with different oxygen delivery systems, such as nasal cannulas, masks, ventilators, and industrial pipelines.

Ease of Use:

Simple and intuitive controls make it easy for healthcare providers and caregivers to operate the flowmeter.

Improved Patient Comfort:

Optional humidifier bottles can be attached to some flowmeters to add moisture to the oxygen, preventing dryness and irritation in the patient’s airways.

Flow Tube:

Glass: Often used for its clarity and resistance to scratching. Glass flow tubes provide excellent visibility for reading the flow rate.

Polycarbonate or Acrylic: These durable plastics are also used for flow tubes due to their impact resistance and clarity. They are lighter and less prone to breakage compared to glass.

Flow Indicator (Ball or Bobbin):

Stainless Steel: Commonly used for its durability, corrosion resistance, and weight, which ensures accurate flow rate readings.

Plastic (e.g., Nylon or Teflon): Lightweight and resistant to wear and tear, these materials are also used for the floating ball or bobbin.

Flow Control Knob/Valve:

Brass: Often used for its strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Brass valves provide precise control over the flow rate.

Stainless Steel: Used for its corrosion resistance and durability, especially in high-quality flowmeters.

Plastic: Some flowmeters use high-strength plastics for the control knob to reduce weight and cost.

Body and Housing:

Aluminum: Lightweight and durable, aluminum is commonly used for the main body of the flowmeter.

Brass: Provides excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for the body and internal components.

Plastic (e.g., Polycarbonate or ABS): Used in some models for the outer housing to reduce weight and cost while maintaining durability.

Inlet and Outlet Ports:

Brass: Commonly used for its durability and ability to form tight, leak-proof connections.

Stainless Steel: Used for its strength and corrosion resistance, especially in high-quality or specialized flowmeters.

Seals and O-Rings:

Silicone: Used for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to temperature extremes.

Neoprene or Nitrile Rubber: Commonly used for their resistance to oils and gases, ensuring a tight seal.

Humidifier Bottle (Optional):

Polycarbonate or Polypropylene: These plastics are used for their durability, impact resistance, and ability to withstand the humidification process.
