Moving from an ASW-20 to a 27 with
automatic hookups left me with a smaller oxygen cylinder and last year I ran out on a couple flights. Then a couple weeks ago I knocked my cylinder over breaking the flowmeter - $62 at W&W; so decided to bite the bullet and switch to Mountain High. The single outlet regulator with pressure gauge + mask(unused) + Oxysaver cannula add up a bit over $250. $150 obo takes it. |

People still fly with manually adjusted oxygen systems? :-o
That's like flying with a mechanical vario (no audio). It can be done but is it really in one's best interest to be constantly fiddling with things inside the cockpit? |

Well, he'll if we are selling used oxygen equipment, I have two older Aerox flow meters, $35 takes both, I could probably throw in one or more of the "oxsaver" cannula. Moved to Moutain high years ago. Contact me privately.

I fly about ten flights a year with ox... and most of those to altitude where the MH system isn't really the preferred tool. btw... "constantly fiddling" (in general) means "you're doing it wrong". :-o T8 |

Those cheaply made flow meters are for the birds. I bought medical
grade panel-mount flow meters for my Sinus (experimental) at 2/3 the cost and they're far superior in materials and quality. If you don't have panel space to mount one, you could lay it in your lap just like the other one, though it's a bit more substantial. Here's a link to an example: https://www.dwyer-inst.com/Product/F...Area/SeriesOMA On 4/5/2016 4:50 AM, Tango Eight wrote: On Monday, April 4, 2016 at 10:06:58 PM UTC-4, Dale Watkins wrote: Can you email me at Zen1960 at live bot com.

The listed site says you can use the flow meter with any O2 system. That is wrong and could be dangerous. Do not use with a Mountain High system.

I don't recall exactly. I carried a pulse oximeter to keep tabs on O2
saturation. Take a look at this link: http://www.c-f-c.com/gaslink/docs/abo4.htm http://www.c-f-c.com/gaslink/docs/abo4.htm . Using that it appears that 1 lpm/10,000' is the FAA recommended flow rate. Therefore, 1.8 lpm at 18,000', but I'm certainly no expert and you'll have to make your own choices.
