Gentec 196AR-60SP 196 Series Dual Flowmeter Regulator, Argon, Ar/CO2 Mix, GCA580 Skin Package

Overview

This high-performance dual flowmeter regulator, the Gentec 196AR-60SP, is designed for precise control and monitoring of gas flow in MIG and TIG welding applications, as well as industrial and laboratory settings. The inclusion of the GCA580 skin package provides additional protection against harsh conditions, enhancing the regulator's durability. Replacing standard single-flow regulators, this unit allows for simultaneous monitoring and control of two separate gas flows, such as shielding and purge gases, optimizing welding processes and other gas-dependent operations. Constructed from class "A" brass and featuring impact-resistant components, this regulator ensures long-lasting and reliable performance.

This regulator addresses the common need for precise gas flow control in welding and industrial applications, particularly when two separate gas flows must be monitored simultaneously. It replaces the need for two separate regulators, streamlining operations and reducing equipment complexity while providing enhanced protection with the included skin package.

Customers benefit from the Gentec 196AR-60SP’s ability to provide accurate and consistent gas delivery, crucial for achieving high-quality welds and consistent experimental results. The dual flowmeter design enhances operational flexibility, allowing for precise adjustments of Argon and Ar/CO2 mixes. The preset 50 PSIG output simplifies setup and ensures safe operation, while the backpressure compensation feature maintains accurate readings even with line restrictions. The sintered bronze inlet filter prevents contaminants from entering the regulator, ensuring clean gas delivery.

The robust construction and compliance with CGA E-4 standards ensure that this regulator meets stringent safety and performance requirements. The included skin package provides additional protection, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The versatile calibration for Argon, Helium, and Ar/CO2 mixes enhances its applicability across various welding and laboratory applications.
