Medical Gas Piping

Piping systems for medical gases.

Medical gas systems include

Compressed Air - Medical and Surgical

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 50 psig (~ 3.5 bar)

This is low pressure dedicated system not allowed for other use than medical and surgical.

Compressed Air - High Pressure Instrument

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 120 psig (~ 8 bar)

This is a high pressure system providing compressed air to pneumatic equipment.

Compressed Air - Laboratory

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 30 psig (~ 2 bar)

Compressed Air - Dental

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 90 psig (~ 6 bar)

Oxygen

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 50 psig (~ 3.5 bar)

Nitrous Oxide

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 50 psig (~ 3.5 bar)

Carbon Dioxide

  • Common delivery pressure: ~ 50 psig (~ 3.5 bar)

Nitrogen
