1420-0004 - Victor PD 10 Regulator Pressure Test Gauge

Precision Diagnostics with the Victor PD 10 Test Gauge

In the realm of industrial gas equipment and welding operations, accuracy is not just a metric of quality—it is a fundamental requirement for safety. The Victor PD 10 Test Gauge (1420-0004) is an indispensable diagnostic tool designed to ensure your gas regulation equipment is performing within its specified parameters. Manufactured by Victor, a brand synonymous with durability and precision in the gas control industry, this test gauge is engineered to provide clear, reliable readings of regulator delivery pressure.

Maintenance professionals and facility managers understand that gas regulators can experience drift or wear over time, leading to inaccurate outlet pressures. These discrepancies can result in poor weld quality, excessive gas consumption, or potential safety hazards. The PD 10 Test Gauge serves as a critical checkpoint in your preventative maintenance schedule. By regularly verifying the output pressure of your regulators against the readings of this calibrated test gauge, you can identify issues before they escalate into costly downtime or equipment failure.

Robust Construction for Industrial Use

The 1420-0004 is built to withstand the rigors of the workshop environment. It features a robust housing and a high-contrast dial face that allows for quick and unambiguous reading of pressure levels. Whether you are troubleshooting a specific station drop or performing a routine audit of all regulators in a facility, the ease of use provided by the PD 10 streamlines the process. Its connection points are machined to strict tolerances, ensuring a secure and leak-free fit during testing procedures.

Essential for Quality Control

For industries adhering to strict ISO quality standards or welding code requirements, verified equipment performance is mandatory. The Victor PD 10 Test Gauge acts as a primary tool for quality assurance officers and welding supervisors. It allows for the validation of flowmeter and regulator settings, ensuring that the shielding gas flow reaching the weld pool matches the procedure specification. This attention to detail minimizes porosity and other weld defects associated with improper gas coverage.

Investing in the Victor PD 10 Test Gauge is an investment in the longevity of your equipment and the consistency of your production. It is a small, portable, yet powerful addition to any MRO toolkit, providing the data needed to maintain optimal system performance.
