INTERNAL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
- Risk of over-pressurisation of the regulator body is a safety hazard when using high pressure gas (such as oxygen or argon/CO2) and can cause rupture / explosion of the regulator and or components
- The pressure relief valve prevents over-pressurisation
- Valve is built into regulator body internal parts, protecting it from contamination, damage or tampering, to ensure reliable operation
ONE-PIECE ENCAPSULATED SEAT / VALVE
- Provides better performance and reliability vs traditional seat designs
- Sintered filter ensures microscopic particles don't enter the capsule, for longer life
- Lateral (instead of direct / linear) gas flow protects diaphragm from wear & rupture
- increased valve surface area minimises flow restrictions and pressure drops
- Reduced pressure creep (tendency for regulator output pressure & flow to increase as the bottle pressure reduces)
- Smoother, more consistent and reliable gas delivery flow & pressure
- Improves weld quality and reduces troubleshooting issues caused / exacerbated by inconsistent gas delivery
COMPLIANCE & QC
- Regulator complies with AS 4267
- Pressure gauges comply with Australian standards AS 1349 & ISO 5171
- Inlet connections comply with AS 2473 & ISO 5145
- Manufactured under ISO-9001 certified quality system
- Each regulator factory tested for leak tightness & correct operation at max working pressure
- Each regulator stamped to indiciate month & year of manufacture & QC test
