PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The height attained by the float in its tapered flow tube is directly related to a calibrated scale. The flow rate should be read from the top of the plumb bob float, reducing parallax errors.

GENERAL INSTALLATION

The practical installation of flow tubes is the responsibility of the anaesthetic machine manufacturer and user.

It is, however, imperative that suitable measures are taken to install the flow tubes in a stable and vertical position with minimum flow path disruption, or back pressure.

CALIBRATION

All flow tubes are series calibrated via UKAS traceable master meters at all major figured scale positions to confirm correct readings at 1013 mbar abs 20oC.

Normal standard accuracy is Class 2.5 VDI/VDE 3513, a classification system for variable area flowmeters.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

All flowmeters have an anti-static permanent conductive coating applied to both the inside and outside walls of the glass to facilitate earthing. This allows any potential static to be dispersed and subsequently earthed via the anaesthesia trolley.

Whilst MPB is more than happy to assist, final earthing arrangements are considered and dictated by the anaesthesia equipment manufacturer.
