Inert Gas Regulator

admin

Will regulators labeled for use with Inert Gas handle pure Argon, pure CO2 and 75/25?

Reply:That's not exactly correct.First thing that needs to be clarified is whether the OP is talking about a "Regulator" or a "Flowmeter Regulator".  A "regulator" simply steps the gas pressure down from the high pressure in the bottle to a usable level (generally between 5 and 100 lbs).A flowmeter regulator steps the high pressure down to a usable level (generally about 50 PSI) and then provides for adjustment to the flow rate.Regulators are used on ox/ace equipment as well as on the gas mixers.  Regulator flowmeters are generally used on mig, tig, etc.Inert gases and C25 use a CGA580 connection on the bottle/regulator.CO2 uses a CGA320 connection on the bottle/regulator.OP needs to clarify what he's talking about.Syncro 250 DX Dynasty 200 DXMM 251 w/30A SG XMT 304 w/714 Feeder & Optima PulserHH187Dialarc 250 AC/DCHypertherm PM 1250Smith, Harris, Victor O/ASmith and Thermco Gas MixersAccess to a full fab shop with CNC Plasma, Water Jet, etc.
Reply:I am talking about a regulator flowmeter.  I am looking for one to use on a TIG rig with pure argon.  The regulators I see on Cyberweld, etc. simply say Inert Gas.  I am wanting to be sure these flowmeters will work with pure argon.
Reply:Isn't argon still an inert gas? For guaranteed compatibility with your equipment, you can email or call Cyberweld. Their customer service is excellent.
