Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM (Product Code: SLE/RAE/20) is a pressure-compensated Thorpe tube flowmeter used to regulate and measure the flow of medical oxygen delivered to a patient, from 0 to 15 L/min, in wards, theatres and emergency rooms. It mounts on a wall panel or regulator through a DISS inlet and has a needle valve and body of brass or aluminium. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The flowmeter is the control point between an oxygen supply and the patient. It plugs into a wall outlet or cylinder regulator through its DISS inlet, and the nurse turns the knob until the float in the transparent Thorpe tube lines up with the prescribed flow. Because the design is pressure compensated, the reading stays accurate across the inlet pressures it is specified for, and the scale can be read from more than 270 degrees around the tube.
Low flows, such as those used with nasal prongs, are read against graduations of 0.5 L/min or finer, while higher flows for masks use steps of up to 1 L/min. A humidifier bottle can be attached downstream where humidified oxygen is wanted. The body is wiped with a damp cloth and disinfectant between patients, and the built-in inlet filter helps keep particles out of the valve.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies oxygen flowmeters from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, clinics and oxygen-access programmes. We can quote flowmeters together with humidifier bottles and patient interfaces so each oxygen point is complete. Visit our profile page for company information.

What flow range and accuracy does the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM have?
The Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM measures medical oxygen from 0 to 15 L/min with 10 % accuracy. Its tube is graduated in steps of at most 0.5 L/min at low flow and at most 1 L/min at high flow.
How does the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM connect to the supply?
The Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM has a DISS input connector for mounting on a wall panel or pressure regulator, with a built-in inlet filter. Tell us your outlet type so we can confirm the connection before supply.
What inlet pressure does the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM need?
The Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM is calibrated at 50–55 psi (345–380 kPa) inlet gauge pressure. Its nominal inlet pressure is above 50 psi, it tolerates a peak of at least 100 psi, and its pressure-compensated design holds accuracy across that range.
What happens when the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM is fully opened?
When fully opened, the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM passes a maximum of 50 L/min, well above its 15 L/min scale, so staff should always set the flow against the graduated tube rather than by turning the knob fully.
How is the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM cleaned?
The Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a disinfection solution. Its transparent column is made of shatter-resistant polymer, and the knob has a rough surface so it does not slip in wet hands.
Who supplies the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Oxygen Flow Meter 0 – 15 LPM to hospitals, clinics and oxygen programmes in India and international markets, including bulk orders for fitting out whole wards.
