Overview

A network, not a pipe.

A medical gas pipeline has exactly two ways to cause harm: it can deliver the wrong gas — an oxygen outlet that gives something else — or it can stop delivering during a procedure. Almost every rule in ISO 7396-1 exists to make one of those two things impossible. That is why this is engineered as a monitored network with three sources, not run as a length of pipe.

Identity. Every terminal outlet is gas-specific and non-interchangeable — gas-indexed or NIST connectors that make it physically impossible to plug an oxygen device into a vacuum or nitrous outlet. Cross-connection is designed out, then proven out at commissioning.

Continuity. ISO 7396-1 demands three supplies — primary, secondary and reserve — with automatic changeover and escalating alarms, so no single failure interrupts a gas. The source can be manifold banks, an on-site oxygen plant or a liquid oxygen tank; the reserve always stands ready.

Purity. The gas is only as clean as the pipe. Copper is degreased and brazed under a continuous nitrogen purge, so no oxide scale forms inside to shed later.

You cannot inspect a pipeline into safety after the fact. You braze it clean, you design the wrong gas out, and you prove both before a single outlet is used.

Engineered to Order

Turnkey, across hospital and industry

Designed, supplied, installed, tested and commissioned as one scope — quoted across hospital and industrial gas-pipeline requirements. The gas schedule, diversity flow and layout follow from the building and its clinical or process load. No specific delivered installation is claimed on this page.

Proven Before Handover

The ISO 7396-1 test battery

Before any outlet is used, the pipeline passes pressure, leak, cross-connection, obstruction, particulate, purge and purity/identity tests. The commissioning battery — not the pipe itself — is the deliverable that lets a clinician trust the wall.

Source to Outlet

The distribution layer of a gas franchise

The sources that feed the pipeline — PSA oxygen generation, liquid-oxygen storage and vaporisation, gas compression — are Neometrix product lines in their own right. MGPS is the network that carries that gas to the bedside, engineered by the same team.

Architecture

Source, distribution, and the proof.

The schematic traces a gas from a triple-redundant source, through zone isolation and monitoring, to a non-interchangeable outlet — and the detail panel shows why the braze, not the pipe, is the real product.

Three Sources

Primary, secondary and reserve per ISO 7396-1 — manifold banks with automatic changeover, or fed from an on-site PSA oxygen plant or a liquid oxygen tank and vaporiser. Duty switches to standby as pressure falls; the reserve always stands ready; line regulation holds a nominal 4 bar / 400 kPa.

Arc · 02

Distribution & Zone Isolation

Degreased medical copper, nitrogen-purge brazed, sized by an ISO 7396-1 diversity and simultaneous-demand calculation. Area valve service units isolate each zone for maintenance or fire — you can work on one wing without shutting the gas to the rest of the building.

Arc · 03

Alarms & Monitoring

Master and zone alarm panels watch pressure and vacuum in every zone; source-plant alarms report low, high, changeover and reserve-in-use. The network tells its keepers the moment a supply drifts — long before a wall outlet ever would.

Arc · 04

Vacuum & AGSS

Medical vacuum — duplex or triplex pumps, receiver and bacterial filtration — and anaesthetic gas scavenging are their own piped services, engineered and monitored to the same standard as the pressure gases they work alongside.

Where gas pipelines actually fail

Not at the pretty manifold room — at the last metre and the worst moment. A cross-connection that survived a rushed commissioning; a zone valve nobody could find when a fire started; a reserve bank that was never actually piped in; scale shed from a pipe that was brazed without a purge, arriving at a ventilator years later.

That is why the standard makes testing and commissioning the product, not the pipework: cross-connection and identity proven at every outlet, particulate and purge checked, the reserve demonstrated, the alarms exercised. A gas pipeline is a promise about the outlet a clinician will trust without thinking — everything here is arranged to keep it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Plain-language answers from the engineering team.

Q · 01 Why does a gas pipeline need three sources — why not just a big cylinder bank?

Because continuity is a safety requirement, not a convenience. ISO 7396-1 requires a primary, a secondary and a reserve supply so that no single event — an empty bank, a failed regulator, a maintenance isolation — can interrupt a gas that a patient may depend on. A single bank, however large, has a single point of failure; the moment it is isolated for a cylinder change, the gas is gone. The three-source arrangement with automatic changeover means the duty bank hands over to standby as it empties, the reserve stands ready behind both, and the alarms announce each transition long before anyone at a bedside would notice. It is the same “store the redundancy, not the heroics” discipline that runs through every critical utility — the network is designed around its worst five minutes, not its ordinary day.

Q · 02 How do you guarantee an oxygen outlet can never give the wrong gas?

In two layers: design and proof. By design, every terminal outlet is gas-specific and non-interchangeable — gas-indexed or NIST connectors whose geometry physically refuses a device meant for another gas, so an oxygen probe will not enter a nitrous or vacuum outlet. But geometry alone is not trusted: at commissioning the whole network is subjected to a cross-connection (anti-confusion) test, where each gas is pressurised in turn and every outlet in the building is checked to deliver only its own gas and nothing else, and an identity/purity test confirms the correct gas is actually present at the point of use. Only when both the geometry and the tests agree, outlet by outlet, is the system handed over. Designing cross-connection out is necessary; proving it out is what makes it safe.

Q · 03 Why braze the copper under a nitrogen purge?

Because the inside of the pipe is where the gas lives, and heat is where contamination is born. When medical copper is brazed in air, the hot inner wall oxidises and forms a black, brittle oxide scale that later flakes off and travels downstream with the gas — toward filters, regulators and, ultimately, a patient’s outlet. Flowing a continuous nitrogen purge through the pipe during brazing displaces the oxygen at the joint, so the inner surface stays clean and no scale forms in the first place. Combined with degreased, oxygen-clean copper to EN 13348 and capped handling on site, it means the pipeline is born clean rather than cleaned afterwards — which matters, because you cannot reach inside a commissioned network to scrub it. The purge is invisible on the finished job and absolutely central to it.

Q · 04 What does “tested and commissioned to ISO 7396-1” actually involve?

A defined battery, run before a single outlet is put into use, that turns a pipe into a certified system. It includes pressure and leakage tests on every section; cross-connection and anti-confusion checks across the whole building; obstruction and flow verification so each outlet delivers its rated flow at pressure; particulate and purge tests to prove the pipe is clean inside; and gas identity and purity at the point of use to prove the right gas is present. The reserve supply is demonstrated, the changeover is exercised, and every alarm condition is triggered and witnessed. The results are recorded outlet by outlet and zone by zone. The pipe is the easy part; this documented proof is the deliverable that lets a hospital connect the first patient with confidence.

Q · 05 Do medical vacuum and gas scavenging come as part of the same system?

Yes — they are piped services engineered to the same standard, just working in the other direction. Medical vacuum is generated by a duplex or triplex pump plant with a receiver and bacterial filtration, distributed and monitored exactly like a pressure gas, because suction that fails mid-procedure is as serious as pressure that fails. Anaesthetic gas scavenging (AGSS) carries waste anaesthetic away from theatre to protect staff. Both are zoned, alarmed and commissioned alongside the pressure gases, so a single MGPS scope typically covers oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical and surgical air, vacuum and AGSS — the seven services — as one integrated, monitored network rather than a set of unrelated installations.

Q · 06 Do you make the outlets and manifolds, or engineer the system?

The system. Terminal outlets, area valve service units, alarm panels, automatic changeover manifolds, medical vacuum pumps and degreased copper tube are proprietary items from established makers, and specifying the right ones is part of the engineering. What Neometrix delivers is everything that turns those components into a certified network: the ISO 7396-1 flow, diversity and pressure design; the pipeline fabrication and nitrogen-purged brazing; the interface to the source — whether a manifold room, a PSA oxygen plant or a liquid oxygen tank, all Neometrix lines in their own right; the AVSU, alarm and terminal installation; and the full testing, commissioning, purity verification, documentation and training. To be plain about status: this capability is offered turnkey and has been quoted across hospital and industrial requirements; no specific delivered hospital installation is claimed on this page.
