Cylinder Flowmeters – Side Loading Flowmeter

A side loading cylinder flowmeter is a medical gas flow control device designed to be mounted on the side outlet of an oxygen gas cylinder. It regulates and displays the flow rate of oxygen being delivered from the cylinder to a patient or medical equipment.

Description

The side loading flowmeter connects directly to the cylinder’s side valve outlet, making it compact, stable, and easy to install without requiring additional fittings. It allows precise adjustment of oxygen flow, typically measured in liters per minute (L/min), using a clearly marked flow tube or dial.
