OVERVIEW

Precision High-Pressure Air Regulation

The Victor Meco Modified BR5-300-347 HT-AJ Regulator is a specialized gas control device designed for industrial applications requiring the management of high-pressure air. Engineered under the renowned Victor and Meco brands, this regulator is built to handle the rigorous demands of heavy industry, aerospace testing, and pneumatic system calibration. The unit features a CGA 347 inlet connection, which is the standard specifically designated for high-pressure air cylinders ranging from 3001 to 5500 PSIG. This distinguishes it from standard air regulators that utilize CGA 346 or CGA 590, ensuring safety and compatibility with modern high-pressure supply vessels.

The "Modified BR5" designation indicates a robust internal architecture tailored for specific flow and pressure characteristics. With a delivery pressure range of approximately 0-300 PSIG, this regulator provides the versatility needed for a wide array of tasks, from leak testing piping systems to powering pneumatic machinery. The "HT" in the model number suggests the inclusion of high-temperature compatible seals or components, allowing the device to maintain integrity even in environments where thermal fluctuations are a concern. The brass body construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage, ensuring a long service life in shop or field environments.

Safety and precision are paramount in high-pressure gas handling. The Victor Meco BR5-300-347 incorporates a sensitive diaphragm mechanism that ensures stable outlet pressure despite fluctuations in the inlet supply. This is critical when draining high-capacity cylinders where the inlet pressure drops significantly over time. The regulator is also designed with ease of maintenance in mind, featuring accessible ports and standard fittings. Whether integrated into a custom test stand or used as a standalone cylinder regulator, this unit delivers the reliability professionals expect from Victor Technologies.

FAQ

CGA 346 is designed for air cylinders with pressures up to 3000 PSIG, while CGA 347 is designed for high-pressure air cylinders ranging from 3001 to 5500 PSIG. This regulator uses CGA 347.

No. This regulator is fitted with a CGA 347 connection specifically for high-pressure air. Oxygen cylinders typically use CGA 540. Never use oil or adaptors to force a connection to oxygen cylinders due to explosion hazards.

The model number indicates a '300' range, which typically signifies a maximum delivery pressure of 300 PSIG.

Yes, the brass construction and 'HT' (High Temperature) designation suggest it is durable enough for field use, provided it is kept clean and dry when not in operation.

It indicates that this unit is a variation of the standard Meco BR5 series, likely customized with specific fittings (CGA 347) or internal components to meet specific high-pressure industrial requirements.

Yes, the CGA 347 inlet is rated for pressures up to 5500 PSIG, making it perfectly safe and suitable for 4500 PSI cylinders.

Most BR5 series regulators are supplied with gauges to monitor inlet and outlet pressure, though the specific gauge faces depend on the exact sub-configuration.

Meco is a brand under the Victor Technologies (now ESAB) umbrella, known for compact and high-precision gas regulation equipment.
