Ideal Calibrations 0.25 LPM Brass Regulator for MSA & RKI Detectors

Description

Product Overview

The Ideal Calibrations 0.25 LPM brass flow regulator is engineered to meet the exacting standards of professional gas detection calibration. Constructed from high‑grade nickel‑plated brass, the regulator offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring a long service life even in demanding laboratory environments. The fixed‑flow design delivers a constant 0.25 LPM flow rate, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and reducing the risk of user error during calibration procedures. The C10 thread fitting matches the standard connection on most calibration gas cylinders, providing a leak‑free seal that maintains the integrity of the calibration gas throughout the process. Dimensions of 2″ × 3″ × 4″ and a weight of just 1 pound make the unit compact and easy to handle, while the robust construction tolerates the rigors of field deployment.

Usage

This regulator is compatible with a wide range of MSA diffusion detectors, including the Altair Pro, Altair 4, Altair 4X, and Altair 4XR models, as well as RKI GX‑3R and GX‑3R Pro monitors. It is ideal for routine calibration of gas detectors in industrial safety programs, environmental monitoring stations, and research laboratories. Users simply attach the regulator to a calibrated gas cylinder, connect the detector’s inlet, and allow the regulator to deliver a steady flow of calibration gas. The consistent flow ensures that the detector’s response can be accurately measured and adjusted, supporting compliance with occupational safety standards such as OSHA and ISO 17025. Because the regulator does not require variable flow settings, it reduces setup time and minimizes the potential for misconfiguration, making it a reliable tool for both seasoned technicians and new operators.

FAQ

What types of detectors are compatible with this regulator?

The regulator works with MSA Altair series detectors (Pro, 4, 4X, 4XR) and RKI GX‑3R and GX‑3R Pro diffusion monitors.

How do I verify that the flow rate is correct?

Use a calibrated flow meter to measure the output at the detector inlet; the reading should read 0.25 LPM. The regulator is factory‑tested, but periodic verification is recommended for critical applications.

Can this regulator be used with gases other than calibration mixtures?

Yes, the regulator can handle any compatible gas cylinder, but it is optimized for calibration gases that require a stable low flow rate. Always follow the gas manufacturer’s safety guidelines.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Ideal Calibrations provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use.

How do I install the regulator safely?

Ensure the gas cylinder valve is closed before attaching the regulator. Tighten the C10 fitting by hand until snug, then give a quarter‑turn with a wrench if needed. Verify the connection for leaks using a soap‑solution test before opening the cylinder valve.
