Frequently asked questions

Why does a medical pressure gauge need oxygen cleaning?

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.

What gases is ZX-16 compatible with?

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.

What pressure ranges are available?

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.

Is ZX-16 CE marked?

Yes. CE marking covers the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR 2017/745) as an accessory to medical gas equipment, and the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). Declaration of Conformity and test reports are available with each shipment.

What is the accuracy of ZX-16?

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.

Can ZX-16 be used on ventilators and anaesthesia machines?

Yes, provided the correct pressure range, connection thread (DIN 477, BS 341, or pin-index), and cleaned/certified status are specified at order. Confirm OEM inlet pressure requirements before specifying the range.

How should ZX-16 be stored to maintain medical-gas cleanliness?

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).

What thread connections are available for medical gas systems?

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.

How often should ZX-16 be calibrated?

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.

Can ZX-16 be repaired in the field?

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 certified status. Replace the gauge and return the old unit for factory inspection.
