a
Where Oxygen is used to power fluidicaly controlled anesthesia ventilators, increase LPM volume
by 40%
b
All outlets in the emergency dept. (area) should have 100% simultaneous use factors
c Where Oxygen is used to power fluidically controlled ventilators, volume should be 40 LPM
d
Simultaneous-use factor for other spaces: the first outlet on the end section of piping 20 LPM,
100% use factor. For additional outlets on the section of piping 10 LPM with the use-factors
used in the above table.

Then you get 2450.2 LPM of Oxygen
