Typically, flowmeters are designed with a durable body, a calibrated scale, and a control knob for adjusting the flow rate. The flow is usually displayed in liters per minute (L/min) through a visual indicator, such as a floating ball or digital display. These devices are commonly wall-mounted, integrated into bedhead units, or attached to gas outlets.
Flowmeters are vital in environments such as hospitals, clinics, and emergency care, where accurate dosing of medical gases is critical for treatments like oxygen therapy. Advanced models may include features such as back pressure compensation, dual scales for different gases, and compatibility with humidifiers for patient comfort. Customizable designs and configurations are available to suit specific clinical needs.
