Medical Gas Pipeline (MGPS) Estimator

Estimate the number of medical gas outlets and indicative MGPS cost for a hospital from bed count and outlets per bed (oxygen, vacuum, air).

Result

Metric		Value

Notes & assumptions: Outlets = beds × outlets per bed (typically 3: oxygen, vacuum, medical air; ICU/OT need more). Cost = outlets × per-outlet cost including copper piping, and excludes source plant (manifold/PSA/LMO).

FAQ

How many medical gas outlets per bed?

General wards need about 3 (oxygen, vacuum, air); ICU and OT beds need more, often 6–12 including nitrous oxide and AGSS.

What does MGPS cost depend on?

Outlet count, copper piping runs, alarms and the source plant (manifold, PSA generator or LMO tank) drive the cost.

Is the source plant included?

No, this estimate covers outlets and piping only; the gas source plant should be costed separately.
