What is the normal reading range for a low pressure gauge on an oxygen regulator?

The normal reading range for a low pressure gauge on an oxygen regulator typically falls between 0 to 200 PSIG. This range is designed to accurately measure and display the pressure of oxygen in various applications, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Oxygen regulators are specifically calibrated to manage pressures that are lower than those found in high-pressure systems, commonly used in welding and medical applications. A gauge with a range up to 200 PSIG provides sufficient capacity to monitor these lower pressures effectively without risk of over-pressurization, which could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards.

In contrast, ranges that extend beyond 200 PSIG are generally reserved for applications requiring monitoring at higher pressures, which are not typical for low-pressure oxygen systems. Therefore, understanding the proper gauge range is crucial for safe handling and application of oxygen in various tasks.
