Oxygen flow is the rate at which oxygen moves through a delivery system, typically measured in liters per minute.
Medical settings use precise oxygen flow rates for patients receiving supplemental oxygen: The nurse adjusted the oxygen flow to two liters per minute.
The term also appears in industrial and scientific contexts involving gas transfer.
