Flow profile

Continuous consumption, peak consumption, shift pattern, daily/weekly operating hours.

Purity

Target O₂ ppm for nitrogen; %90–95 or medical %93±3 requirement for oxygen.

Pressure

Point-of-use pressure, line loss, regulator requirement and booster requirement.

Gas quality

Particles, oil, moisture, dew point, medical or food compliance and analyzer requirement.

Receiver volume
