Process Description
In oxy-fuel gas welding, heating, and cutting, an intense flame is In cutting operations, a concentrated flame is used to preheat
produced by burning a controlled mixture of oxygen and a fuel gas. and maintain the workpiece at its ignition temperature while a
The gases are drawn from separate sources through pressure high-velocity stream of oxygen is directed at the preheated
regulators and introduced into a torch for mixing. They exit the plate. The oxygen stream rapidly oxidizes the metal in a narrow

Innovative EDGE™ Series Regulators offer safety and advanced design The regulators offer the safest, most reliable and highest
quality gas control technology, giving you more value for your purchase. The EDGE Series regulators have easy to read gauges
with enhanced graphics, color-coded knobs for quick gas identification, and offer more natural and safer hand/body positioning
for adjusting delivery pressure. Durable and compact, the advanced design makes them some of the most compact industrial
regulators available on the market. Construction materials have been carefully chosen for optimum durability, including a forged
brass body, stainless steel bolts, and a regulator housing cap constructed of a zinc-aluminum alloy which has nearly twice the
yield strength of brass. Meets ISO 2503
Regulators
Single-Stage Regulators
Reduce pressure in one step. Changes in input pressure will cause changes in output pressure. Since the cylinder
pressure will decrease as the cylinder empties, it is necessary to make occasional readjustments for consistent output
pressure. Where input pressure remains constant, such as from liquified gas sources or controlled line
supplies, no adjustments are necessary.
Two-Stage Regulators
Reduce pressure in two steps. They are actually two regulators in one. The first stage reduces the input pressure to a preset
intermediate pressure which becomes the input pressure to the second stage. Because the intermediate pressure is regulated,
the delivery pressure of the regulator remains virtually constant. As a result, cylinders can be used to much lower pressures for
increased gas savings for our customers – up to 10% of full cylinder content savings, depending on regulator service.

Regulator/flowmeter combination
Optiflow TM
Optiflow™
Offering up to 50% gas saving whilst reducing the gas surge
and reducing the risk of porosity in the welding joint.
Optiflow II™
All the features of the Optiflow but with the addition of an
extra gas outlet should there be a wish to use a backing gas
out of the same cylinder. The same savings for the shielding
gas are obtained as with the Optiflow. The welding gas and
backing gas can each be adjusted separately.

The amount of gas you save with Optiflow™ depends on how much you weld. The more short welds you have, the
larger your saving.
Example: If you normally consume around five tons of welding wire per year and half of your welds are long welds
and the rest are spot welds, you can, by investing in an Optiflow, save 2000 EUR per year!

Gas Safety
Replacement recommendations
ESAB regulators benefit from two permanently marked codes on their bodies. Flashback Arrestors are
marked on their label. This shows the manufacture date in code plus an additional inspection/replacement
stamp typically showing the year at which we recommend the equipment be replaced. This dual system
provides the essential age information required by the user/inspector.
Pressure regulators and flashback arrestors contain elastomeric components which deteriorate with age and
cause the units to fail in service.
Pressure regulators in ‘low wear’ situations such as educational establishments, laboratories and similar
applications are particularly prone to failure. Indeed, a number of serious incidents have occurred as a result
of an elastomeric component failure such as a large discharge of gas from the over pressure relief valve.
The consequences of such releases can be atmospheric enrichment or depletion leading to fires or
asphyxiation. They can also lead to a variety of other unsafe conditions.
Regulators
In response to the need for industry safety, the British Compressed Gases Association recommended in
their Code of Practice 7 that Regulators and Flashback Arrestors be replaced or refurbished after 5 years
in service or manufacturers recommendation. This is an excellent recommendation and has been widely
adopted by the industry.

To ascertain the exact month of manufacture of an ESAB EDGE, or G Series regulator, the date stamp
code appears on the back, typically for example: CMV. The code is translated thus; *The FIRST letter is the

To ascertain the exact month of manufacture of ESAB and Murex regulators, the date stamp code appears on
the back, typically for example: E3AF. The code is translated thus: *The LAST letter is the ASSEMBLY LOCATION
Therefore the regulator marked E3AF was manufactured in January 2013 in Florence.
For ESAB Elite series regulators manufactured from December 2013, there will be a change to the aforementioned
manufacturing date coding system. This new code will remain permanently engraved in the same location as previous
and will be translated thus:
13 M 16 O 13M16O
Therefore, the regulator marked 13M16O was manufactured on 16th December 2013.
