OVERVIEW

High-Pressure Precision for Industrial Gas Control

The Powerweld PW195AR-680 is a specialized flow regulator designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial gas management. Unlike standard regulators that utilize CGA 580 connections for pressures up to 3000 PSI, this unit is engineered with a CGA 680 inlet, making it the essential choice for high-pressure Argon cylinders ranging from 3001 to 5500 PSIG. In heavy industrial settings where high-capacity gas delivery is critical, ensuring you have the correct connection interface is paramount for both safety and operational efficiency.

Constructed from machined brass, the body of the regulator is built to withstand the physical stresses of a busy shop floor or field site. It features a simplified, easy-to-read gauge that displays flow rates from 0 to 60 Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH), allowing operators to dial in the exact shielding gas coverage required for their specific welding procedure specifications (WPS). The internal piston mechanism provides smooth pressure reduction, ensuring that downstream equipment receives a consistent flow of gas without the fluctuations that can lead to weld defects.

For facility managers and procurement specialists, the Powerweld PW195AR-680 represents a reliable, cost-effective solution for managing high-pressure inert gas supplies. Its standardized outlet connection ensures compatibility with existing hose inventory, while the sintered bronze inlet filter extends the service life of the unit by preventing particulate contamination. Whether for automated welding cells or manual fabrication stations utilizing high-pressure banks, this regulator delivers the performance and safety required by professional gas distributors and users.

FAQ

CGA 580 is the standard connection for inert gases like Argon up to 3000 PSI. CGA 680 is designed for high-pressure cylinders containing inert gases, typically rated between 3001 and 5500 PSI. They are not interchangeable.

No, this regulator is designed for Argon and uses a CGA 680 fitting. CO2 cylinders typically use a CGA 320 fitting and require a washer. Using the wrong regulator can be dangerous and will not fit.

This regulator is calibrated to deliver a maximum flow of 60 Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH).

This is a flow regulator. The gauge indicates the flow rate of the gas in CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour), not the remaining cylinder pressure.

Yes, the outlet is a standard 5/8"-18 RH(F) connection, which fits most standard inert gas welding hoses.

You need this regulator if your gas supplier provides Argon in high-pressure cylinders (over 3000 PSI). These cylinders have a different valve geometry to prevent connecting lower-pressure equipment.

If the Helium or Nitrogen cylinder is a high-pressure cylinder equipped with a CGA 680 valve, this regulator can physically connect. However, the flow scale is calibrated for Argon, so flow readings would need to be converted based on gas density.
