For a safe and correct selection, you should always consider the following 3 critical parameters:\r\n\ud83d\udd32 <strong>Gas type and chemical properties \u2014 corrosiveness, toxicity, and flammability:<\/strong> The nature of the gas determines the body material and even the thread direction of the cylinder valve. For greater safety in design, flammable and fuel gases such as acetylene and hydrogen are necessarily equipped with left-hand thread valves, while neutral, asphyxiant, and oxygen gases use right-hand thread valves.\r\n\ud83d\udd32 <strong>Working pressure and pressure rating:<\/strong> Standard gas cylinders are typically available in three pressure classes: 150, 200, and 300 bar. All selected accessories \u2014 including pressure gauges, regulators, and fittings \u2014 must be able to withstand the cylinder's outlet pressure; otherwise, there is a risk of explosion or deformation of the parts.\r\n\ud83d\udd32 <strong>Grade and end use \u2014 industrial, medical, or laboratory:<\/strong> Laboratory- and medical-grade equipment and accessories are made from special materials such as stainless steel or chrome-plated brass to prevent gas contamination and purity loss. Keep in mind that using industrial-grade accessories in sensitive medical and laboratory systems is not permitted under any circumstances.\r\n<strong>Difference Between Industrial and Laboratory Equipment<\/strong>\r\nThere are two main grades for gas cylinder accessories:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCriterion\r\nIndustrial Grade\r\nLaboratory Grade\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBody Material\r\nForged brass or steel\r\n316L stainless steel or chrome-plated brass\r\n\r\n\r\nPurpose\r\nHigh flow rate and pressure\r\nMaintaining gas purity, corrosion resistance\r\n\r\n\r\nApplication\r\nWelding, petrochemical\r\nLaboratories, pharmaceutical industries, gas mixing\r\n\r\n\r\nPressure Accuracy\r\nStandard\r\nHigher, two-stage regulator\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","link":"https:\/\/bonyangas.com\/en\/gas-equipment\/","name":"Gas Equipment","slug":"gas-equipment","taxonomy":"product_category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonyangas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_category\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonyangas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_category"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonyangas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonyangas.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_category=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
