Can I use a CO2 regulator for nitrogen?

Nitrogen and CO2 regulators cannot be interchanged because Nitrogen regulators are designed to withstand higher pressures and have characteristics specific only to nitrogen systems, such as a male thread with conical fittings. If you plan to dispense beer using Nitrogen, you cannot use a CO2 regulator.

What pressure ranges are on an oxygen regulator?

The regulators are suitable for different gases, like air, nitrogen, argon, helium, CO2. They can be used for maximum inlet pressures of up 300 bar and set the working pressure within the ranges of 0-10, 0-20 or 0-100 bar.

Can you put nitrogen in a CO2 tank?

If you own a nitrogen regulator and want to use it on a Co2 tank, then the following adapter can save you money! Simply screw on one side of the adapter to your nitrogen regulator and the other side to your Co2 tank valve. Connects a nitrogen regulator to CGA-320 Co2 tank valve.

Do I need a secondary regulator?

You will need a secondary regulator if you are pouring from different kegs which require different amounts of pressure. Secondary regulators do not connect directly to the gas tank. They also include the necessary gauges to regulate that many kegs.

Are all CO2 regulators the same?

Regulator Construction and Life Expectancy There is actually a lot going on inside a CO2 regulator. All regulators, no matter who manufactured them, are based on the same system.

How do you size a pressure regulator?

Use the formula: 0.33 x A1 x P1 = Q1 (does not apply to regulators with filters). A1 = seat orfice area in mm² P1 = inletpressure in bar (a) Q1 = max. flow of air in Nm³/hour through the seat orifice area.

What is the pressure in a full oxygen cylinder?

about 2000 psi
A full cylinder will read about 2000 psi (pounds per square inch). the gauge reaches the flow rate your doctor prescribed.

Can an argon regulator be used for CO2?

Argon Regulators normally show Gas Flow Rate in Litres Per Minute and Cubic Feet Per Hour. An Argon Regulator should also be used for Argon/Co2 Mixed gases.

What pressure should kegs be at?

12 PSI
Most ales and lagers produced in the US should be dispensed at 10 – 12 PSI. Stout and other nitrogen-reliant keg beers are usually dispensed at 25 – 30 PSI. For the specific dispensing pressure for a particular keg, check with your local beer distributor.
