Default lpm to psi???

I do not have an oxy regulator for my two concentrators...

Anyone have the math to convert lpm to psi?
Is it even possible to get a psi number from lpm???

Nope, can't be done. PSI is a measure of pressure, LPM is a measure of flow rate.

dangit!

Does that mean if I really want to know the psi I have to get a regulator???
Is there maybe a gauge that might be cheaper?
Regulators are expensive!

I'm just curious, why do you want to know the pressure?

How are your concentrators connected and how long is the hose to your torch?

What kind of concentrators do you have? Are they the same? Are they putting out the same LPM?

I know you were looking for answers, not more questions, but with a little more info I may be able to help.

I have an Invacare 5 and a Mobilaire V by Invacare, they are connected by a Y connector I ordered from Paulette, both units came from Paulette...

I can make beads no problem with both on.
I have both units cranked up but when both are on the measurement goes down to 3 lpm on each machine. If I turn one off the measurement for the machine that is on goes back up to 5+...
I am wondering if it matters...
Maybe my Y connector is too small and is not letting oxy volume come through?
Do I need a more substantial Y connector?

I hope my questions make sense & thank you for your help!

I'm not technically knowledgeable at all. I have 2 concentrators, both Healthdyne, connected with the Y connector from Paulette. I can get my lpms past the 4 mark on both. I don't know what this means in relation to your issue, but thought I'd just through another wrench in

By the way, it was nice trading beads with you at the gathering. Hope to see you next year.
