Special Applications High Flow Oxygen Regulator - OR14
This is the original BOC designed OR14 oxygen high flow regulator for use in heavy cutting, thermic lancing and other arduous applications.
This is a physically large regulator constructed from brass with a "Tee" bar for pressure adjustment.
As standard the regulator is sold complete with an inlet adaptor which allows for use on both high pressure (230 bar) cylinders as well as high flow pipeline outlet points having a G1 outlet connection.
The operating pressure range is from 0 to 14 bar gauge.
The OR14 is a large single stage regulator with 2 gauges, the outlet pressure or working pressure gauge as well as the cylinder contents gauge.
The usual outlet connection is a standard G3/8 but is also available with G1/2 right hand. High flow adaptors are also available.
When this regulator has to be used with mixed gas systems it is important the flashback arrestor is capable of working at the higher pressure this OR14 oxygen regulator can deliver plus of course the FBA needs to be of adequate size so as to be able to flow the correct volume of gas with minimal pressure drop.
To achieve high flow with longer lengths of hose, over 10m in length it would be better to operate with larger bore hoses (16 to 19mm - 5/8 to 3/4" bore) so as to increase flow and minimise the pressure drop, a short working length of 3 to 5 m may be added at the end to allow easy torch manipulation. Special fittings may be required to fit the hose while having the G1/2" connections.
For very high flow applications, generally from piped outlet points then the OLS120 regulator will be required.
