PGI90005522 - 2.0 LPM Fixed Flow Calibration Gas Regulator, C-10 Inlet

Precision Gas Delivery for Instrument Calibration

The Regulator For C-10 Cylinders 2.0Lpm is a specialized fixed-flow regulator designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial gas detection maintenance. In the field of industrial hygiene and safety, the accuracy of gas sensors is paramount. This regulator ensures that calibration gases are delivered to sensors at a constant, controlled rate of 2.0 Liters Per Minute (LPM), a specification often required for older or specific high-flow sensor technologies that demand a robust sample stream to register accurate readings during bump tests or full calibrations.

Engineered with a C-10 (5/8"-18 UNF) inlet connection, this device is universally compatible with the vast majority of disposable calibration gas cylinders available on the market, including the common 34L, 58L, and 116L aluminum or steel bottles. The C-10 standard is the industry benchmark for non-refillable cylinders containing reactive and non-reactive gas mixtures, such as Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Oxygen, and Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) mixtures. The regulator's body is typically constructed from nickel-plated brass, providing a necessary balance of durability and chemical compatibility, ensuring that the regulator itself does not react with or degrade the calibration gas mixture before it reaches the instrument.

Operational efficiency is key in MRO environments. This regulator features a simple, ergonomic control knob for on/off operation, eliminating the complexity of variable flow adjustments which can introduce errors in calibration. The integrated pressure gauge offers immediate visual confirmation of the cylinder's remaining volume, preventing the scenario of starting a calibration route with an empty bottle. The outlet is equipped with a standard hose barb, designed to securely hold 3/16" ID tubing, creating a leak-free path from the cylinder to the gas monitor's calibration cap or docking station.

Reliability in safety equipment is non-negotiable. Whether used for daily bump testing or monthly calibration intervals, this 2.0 LPM regulator provides the consistency required to maintain compliance with safety standards (such as OSHA or internal safety protocols). Its robust design withstands the rigors of field use, making it an essential component in the toolkit of any safety officer, industrial hygienist, or maintenance technician responsible for gas detection instrumentation.
