3. If the pressure reducer is checked for air leakage, close the cylinder valve first,
turn out the pressure regulating screw in a counterclockwise direction. If the
reading of the high pressure gauge decreases, it means that the high pressure
part of the pressure reducer or the valve seat of the cylinder is leaking; If the
reading of the low pressure gauge decreases, it may be that the low pressure part
of the pressure reducer or the pipeline equipment leaks; If the reading of the high
pressure gauge decreases and the reading of the low pressure gauge increases, it
is air leakage at the adjusting screw.
4.matters needing attention
a.Gas cylinders should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
b.When serious gas leakage is found, the cylinder valve shall be closed in time.
c.Handle gas cylinders with care.
d.Pressure reducer shall be installed during use. Various pressure reducers
cannot be mixed.
e.When opening the cylinder valve, the pressure regulating screw should be fully
loosened to prevent the diaphragm from being damaged by the instantaneous
pressure, thus leading to the failure of the pressure reducer.
f.Do not let oil or flammable organic matter contaminate the cylinder (especially on
the cylinder outlet and pressure gauge).
g.When opening the cylinder valve, do not face your head or body directly to the
cylinder valve to prevent the cylinder valve or pressure gauge from rushing out and
causing accidents.
h.Each time the supplier delivers gas, it shall check whether the gas cylinder is
qualified and within the verification period. The gas cylinder that is unqualified or
beyond the verification period cannot be used.
i.The gas in the cylinder cannot be completely exhausted, and some gas should be
left to prevent the outside air from entering the cylinder. Generally, the residual
pressure above 0.05MPa gauge pressure should be maintained, because the last
residual gas in the cylinder often contains impurities.
