Gentec 196HE-150 196 Series Dual Flowmeter Regulator, Helium, GCA580

Overview

This precision-engineered regulator, the Gentec 196HE-150, is a 196 Series Dual Flowmeter Regulator designed to provide accurate helium gas flow for MIG and TIG welding applications, as well as commercial, industrial, and laboratory settings. This regulator replaces standard single-flow regulators by offering the ability to monitor two separate gas flow settings simultaneously, enhancing operational flexibility and control. Constructed from class "A" brass, this single-stage regulator ensures durability and consistent performance. The inclusion of two 195FM flowmeters and a 2" gauge allows for clear and easy monitoring of gas flow, making it an essential tool for professionals who require precise helium regulation.

This regulator solves the common problem of needing to monitor and adjust two separate helium gas flows at the same time, which is crucial in applications where varying gas flow rates are required. It replaces the need for two separate regulators, streamlining operations and reducing equipment clutter.

Customers benefit from the Gentec 196HE-150’s ability to provide accurate and reliable gas flow control, improving the consistency and quality of welding and other gas-dependent processes. The impact-resistant polycarbonate flow tube and hood protect the flowmeters from damage, ensuring long-term reliability. The backpressure compensated flowmeter maintains accuracy even under varying pressure conditions, while the sintered bronze inlet filter prevents contaminants from entering the regulator. This regulator is preset at 50 PSIG, providing a stable and consistent pressure output.

The dual flowmeters allow for simultaneous monitoring and adjustment of two separate gas flows, enhancing operational efficiency. The robust construction and conformance to CGA E-4 standards ensure that this regulator meets stringent safety and performance requirements. The easy-to-read gauges and flowmeters simplify monitoring and adjustment, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
