Compressed oxygen is a powerful oxidiser. Any hydrocarbon contamination (oil, grease, solvent residue) in a high-pressure O₂ stream can ignite spontaneously — a phenomenon called 'oxygen enriched combustion.' ISO 15001 and HTM 02-01 specify cleaning procedures to remove hydrocarbons below 50 mg/m² before a gauge is used in O₂ or O₂-enriched service.
Medical oxygen (O₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), medical air, nitrogen (N₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), helium (He), and argon (Ar). Compatibility is material-dependent — confirm specific gas-material compatibility for each gas at order. Note: N₂O requires brass-free wetted parts at high concentrations.
Standard ranges: 0–4 bar (low-pressure O₂ pipeline), 0–16 bar (high-pressure pipeline), 0–25 ATM (cylinder bank / 250 bar cylinder with appropriate reducer). ATM, bar, kPa, and PSI scales all available.
Medical-gas projects may require cleaning records, calibration records, material documents, or local approvals. Manogauge confirms the available document package by model, destination market, and order scope before production.
Class 1.6 (±1.6% FS) standard, sufficient for medical-gas delivery pressure verification. Class 1.0 (±1.0% FS) available for critical anaesthesia and ventilator applications.
Yes, provided the correct pressure range, connection thread (DIN 477, BS 341, or pin-index), cleaning requirement, and required document scope are specified at order. Confirm OEM inlet pressure requirements before specifying the range.
Keep all port caps and packaging in place until installation. Store in a clean, dry area away from hydrocarbons, lubricants, and dust. Once installed, do not apply thread sealants containing hydrocarbons (PTFE tape is acceptable; oil-based compounds are not).
Standard: G1/4B and G1/2B (EN 837). Medical-specific: DIN 477 (German), BS 341 (UK/Commonwealth), NIST (USA). CGA 540 (O₂, USA) and other North American CGA connections available on request.
ISO 7396-1 and HTM 02-01 recommend annual calibration for gauges in medical gas pipeline systems. For anaesthesia and ventilator gauges, follow the OEM's recommended service interval — typically every 12 months or after any significant pressure event.
No. Medical gas gauges must be repaired and re-cleaned in a controlled environment to maintain oxygen-service cleanliness. Field disassembly voids the cleaned and documented status. Replace the gauge and return the old unit for factory inspection.
