Cylinder Flowmeters – Top Loading Flowmeter

A top loading cylinder flowmeter is a medical oxygen flow control device designed to mount vertically on top of an oxygen cylinder valve. It regulates and displays the amount of oxygen delivered from the cylinder to a patient or medical device, measured in liters per minute (L/min).

Description

The top loading flowmeter is fitted directly onto the top outlet of an oxygen cylinder, providing a straight, upright installation. This vertical orientation allows for clear visibility of the flow scale and stable operation. Flow is adjusted using a control knob, enabling accurate and consistent oxygen delivery.

Key Features

• Top-mounted design: Attaches vertically to the cylinder valve

• Clear flow indicator: Transparent tube with easy-to-read graduations

• Strong and durable build: Made from medical-grade metal and impact-resistant components

• Secure sealing: Prevents gas leakage when properly fitted

• Smooth control knob: Enables fine adjustment of oxygen flow

Typical Flow Range

Common flow ranges include:

• 0–5 L/min

• 0–10 L/min

• 0–15 L/min
