ESAB Regulators Offer Patented Explosion Control

Florence, SC – All oxygen regulators carry an inherent danger that the oxygen could spontaneously ignite if it encounters certain impurities, such as hydrocarbons, within the regulator. These accidents occur most often when regulators are used without following prescribed safety practices but even the most conscientious worker could make a mistake. 

In the resultant cylinder explosions, regulator pieces can become burning projectiles and cause serious injuries. ESAB manufactures a complete line of regulators that are unsurpassed in their field for safety and capacity, with patented built-in explosion protection. ESAB’s patented design suppresses internal forces from a cylinder explosion within the cylinder and thereby minimizes the risk of personal injury.

ESAB’s PUROX® and OXWELD® brand oxygen regulators include this patented safety design. These regulators are machined from solid brass bar stock to ensure years of trouble-free performance with minimum maintenance. All ESAB regulators, flowmeters and valves are built from top quality materials and are designed to provide safe, efficient gas control in applications ranging from light-duty maintenance and repair to heavy-duty production.
