Is this regulator adjustable? and how? (pic)

Hi, I got so much useful information from this board. Thank you everyone.

I just started my cycle this year and got a O2 cylinder today. (please see the attached jpg). My doctor only give me 7LPM prescription. I can start with that. Is this regulator adjustable, just in case I need higher flow rate? If yes how will I adjust that?

But the white knob is connected with the meter on the right side, which shows how many psi/kpa of O2. Does that mean psi/kpa actually related to LPM?

Hi J & Welcome
The guage on the right tells you how much o2 you have in the cylinder, the guage on the left tells you the flow rate in LPM, look to the bottom left of the left guage & you will see the letters

LPM OXYGEN

by adjusting the white knob you can increase the flow rate up to 15 LPM.

Cheers
Barry

Thanks both of you.
