Medical & Laboratory Gas System Design
Fortunately for end users and installers alike most Laboratory Gas Installations are not of a critical nature, they require very low volumes of gas at pressures that will be locally adjusted when the gas enters the equipment they are using.

Medical & Laboratory Gas Pipeline Design - Part 1
Pipeline versus Pressure & Design Impact
As you are no doubt aware gas pressure is one of the major variables that will impact on the design of any gas pipeline, as pressure increases so do other variables such as the materials of construction of the pipeline and the wall thickness of the pipe being used.

Medical Gas Smoke Evacuation Systems - Part 5
Design Considerations for the installation of High & Low Flow Smoke Evacuation Systems
The reasons for the removal of Smoke or Plumes created during Surgical procedures are well documented, there have been many articles written that support the necessity of it's extraction from the theatre environs so this report will not further expound on that. This report also does not go into the use of the Medical Vacuum system for use in the removal of surgical smoke as it will become self evident as to why this is not good practice both from a contamination control point of view and for the protection of the Medical Vacuum pipeline, pumps and equipment.
