THE SECOND LECTURE.

Medical Gas Systems
2. Codes & Standards.
 There are 3 codes used Internationally that relate to Medical Gas.

1- HTM02-01 – United Kingdom (supersedes HTM2022 & HTM22)

Used in various countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

2- EN ISO 7396-1 (supersedes EN 737) European code.

Used in parts of Europe with local country variations.

 NFPA 99 (C)– (supersedes NFPA 56F & 56K) United States.

Used in various South American and Asian countries.

1) Estimating flow requirements.
• Depend on the following items.
• Number of outlets.

• Flow rate per outlet (depends on the specific gas and outlet
type).

• Diversity factor(depends on the number and type of outlets).
