What is a CGA valve?
A CGA fitting is the standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line. CGA-590 is used for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used for special purposes.
What does CGA fitting stand for?
The first thing to consider when selecting a cylinder fitting is the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) Number Designation. In order to avoid the accidental mixing of potentially reactive gases, the CGA has standardized gas cylinder fittings.
What is the maximum capacity of a high pressure oxygen cylinder?
The current DOT approval for these newly developed cylinders allows a maximum service pressure of 3,000 psi (206 bar) for containing pure oxygen, which is the gas used in closed-cir- cuit SCSR designs. The 5,000 psi (345 bar) pressure rating is for containing air and other gases.
What is the normal pressure in gas cylinder?
In each case, the pressure of the gas in the cylinder is commonly given in units of kilopascals (kPa) or pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Atmospheric pressure is normally about 101.4 kPa (14.7 psi). Note that compressed gas cylinder with a pressure gauge reading of 0 kPa or 0 psig is not really empty.
What size is CGA 580?
Western CGA-580 Argon/Helium/Nitrogen Hand Tight Regulator Nut has a thread size of 0.960″ – 14 NGO with RH Female connection and is made of brass and has a pressure of 3000 psig.
What is a CGA 510?
Description. CGA-510 Gas Regulator Inlet, Stainless Steel, Long. 1/4 in MNPT to CGA-510 PN SEQ5104SSL. A CGA fitting is the standardized system for the attachment of a compressed gas cylinder to the required regulator or transfer line.
What CGA-580?
Examples of CGA fittings would be CGA-580 for Non-flamable, Non-oxidizing gasses such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Helium. CGA-590 is used for compressed air and CGA-326 is used for Nitrous Oxide. There are approximately a dozen commonly used CGA-fittings, with others used for special purposes.
What CGA 347?
Product Description. CGA-347-N is designated for AIR at pressures up to 5500 PSI. This valve has a standard 3/4” NGT Threads which are most commonly used with Norris Cylinders and any other brands that uses standard 3/4” connections. Typical storage pressures are 3600, 4500, and 5000 PSI.
How much should the cylinder valve be opened on an oxygen cylinder?
The cylinder valve should only be opened 3/4 of a turn.
