Welding gas regulators or gas cylinder regulators are designed to control the flow of gas from the cylinder to your welding machine. They play a crucial role in reducing the high pressure in the gas bottle to a safe and manageable level for household or industrial use.
We offer plugged, single or two-gauge options to suit your application. Technical support and advice are available from our fully trained gas safety inspectors who can check that your gas equipment fully conforms to current standards and legislation, whether for oxy/fuel or shielding gas applications.
There are a few main types of gas or co2 regulators like single stage and multi stage - read this guide to find out what kind of gas regulator is the one for your requirements.
Whichever type of welding you are carrying out, it is essential that you get the right regulator for the job. Not only is it important because different regulators have different screw threads, such as regulators for combustible gases like Acetylene and Propane usually having Left Hand Threads, but using the wrong regulator can also be dangerous.
A flashback is a rapid, high-pressure flame that travels back up the gas hose. These are caused by a number of factors such as welding or cutting at incorrect pressure settings, from a blockage or overheating of the nozzle, for example by operating with the nozzle too close to the material.
Flashbacks can result in extremely dangerous cylinder ignition and must be prevented by the proper use of working flashback arrestors.
Checks need to be undertaken by a person who has sufficient training and qualifications in the use of oxy-fuel gas equipment as well as theoretical knowledge of the functioning of the equipment, the properties of the gas used, the potential defects and hazards that may occur, and their importance and safety of the equipment.
Engweld gas equipment safety checks are carried out by our own fully trained inspectors to BCGA CP7 and certified by HSE in INDG 381.
Our inspections include:-
At Engweld, we also offer complimentary gas equipment like cutting machines and disposable gas welding kits, so you can find everything you need in one place.
Engweld supplies a range of other gas equipment as well, including gas flowmeters, gas cylinder trolleys, and gas cages.
We also supply gas through our Energas brand which is a leading service provider of gas cylinders to a variety of industry sectors in the UK, delivering a local and personal service, combined with global quality products and expert technical support.
If you have any questions or need help in choosing the right welding gas regulator for your application, then please contact us and speak to one of our experts.
Single-stage gas pressure regulators reduce cylinder pressure to delivery or outlet pressure in one step. Two-stage gas pressure regulators reduce cylinder pressure in two steps.
