Flow Restrictors

Flow restrictors optimize gas flow for accurate sampling with gas analyzers. Exposing analyzer sensors to non-optimum flow/pressure may cause sensor damage. Flow meters provide users a visual indicator of flow rate for accurate pressure delivery to sensitive gas sensors.

PLEASE NOTE: Never expose gas sensors to pressure or you may cause damage and/or false readings. Damaged sensors will not provide accurate gas analysis. Inaccurate gas analysis can lead to serious personal injury or death. Most gas analyzers can be used to analyze a regulated gas sample flow, the contents of a gas cylinder, or the flow from a regulator. The flow rate of gas must equal 1-5 L/min. To produce this flow, a Flow Restrictor and Regulator—like those posted on this page—may be required. A faulty Flow Restrictor can lead to a false analyzer reading. Flow Restrictors should be regularly tested with a Flow Meter. Inaccurate gas analysis can lead to serious personal injury or death.
