All are available in NFPA or ISO versions, with examples like 57-70-0104 for high-flow 0-70 lpm Oxygen or 57-25-0609-1PTO for 0-25 lpm Medical Air with ISO color and Power Take-off, differentiating them for specialized veterinary applications.

Veterinary Applications

In veterinary medicine, these flow meters play a crucial role in delivering controlled oxygen and medical air therapy to animals across various settings, from routine check-ups in small practices to complex surgeries in animal hospitals. They enable precise gas administration during anesthesia induction, respiratory support for critical cases like pneumonia in companion animals, or post-operative recovery for equine patients, ensuring optimal oxygenation and reducing complications. Their adaptability to different flow rates and connections makes them indispensable for emergency responses in exotic animal care or intensive units, ultimately contributing to improved animal health and welfare by maintaining accurate and reliable gas delivery tailored to the unique needs of veterinary professionals.
