depend on the flow. An "E" cylinder contains 625 L of gas. At
40 L/min, 625 L will last up to 15 minutes; at 20 L/min, 625 L
will last up to 30 minutes. 15 L/min orifice type flowmeters
used on many "E" cylinders will not be able to deliver more
than 15 L/min. When clinicians decide that 15 L/min is not
sufficient flow, the GO
that has a high flow port (50PSIG) to deliver 40 L/min. The
length of use for various sizes of compressed oxygen tank (D,
E, M & H) is a function of supplied oxygen flow from 6 to 40
L/min to GO VENT™ (see Table 1 below).
