29、rectly to a patient. These functions cover a range of inlet and outlet pressures and flows which require specific design characteristics. It is important that the operating characteristics of low-pressure regulators are appropriately specified for their intended use and then tested in a defined mann

30、er. A low-pressure regulator may be coupled to a device that controls the flow, such as a flow control valve or a fixed orifice. The flow can be indicated by a flowmeter or by a flowgauge. It is essential that regular inspection and maintenance are undertaken to ensure that low-pressure regulators c

31、ontinue to meet the requirements of this part of ISO 10524. This part of ISO 10524 pays particular attention to: safety (mechanical strength, leakage, safe relief of excess pressure and resistance to ignition); suitability of materials; gas specificity; accuracy; cleanliness; testing; marking; infor

The clauses and subclauses marked with an asterisk (*) after their number have corresponding rationale contained in Annex B, included to provide additional insight into

33、the reasoning that led to the requirements and recommendations that have been incorporated in this document. It is considered that knowledge of the reasons for the requirements will not only facilitate the proper application of this part of ISO 10524, but will expedite any subsequent revisions. 4 DI
