Detailed explanation-1: -The flow meter assembly controls, measures and indicates the rate of flow of gas passing through it [Figure 4]. [9] The flow meter assembly consists of flow control valve and flow meter sub-assembly.
Detailed explanation-2: -The flow meter is a part of the low-pressure system of the anesthesia machine. The flow meter measures and indicates the rate of flow of gases and allows precise control of O2 or N2O delivery to the vaporizer/common gas outlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gas Flow Through the Anesthesia Machine Gas (oxygen, air, nitrous oxide) enters the anesthesia machine through a pipeline supply and cylinder gas supply. The primary source of gas is typically the pipeline supply, which functions at 45 to 60 psi (the intermediate pressure system).
