Signs that your gas mixer needs maintenance include a decrease in flow, inconsistent gas mixtures, or fluctuating pressure gauge readings, and regular maintenance of your gas mixer is essential to ensure optimal performance and safety.
We recommend inspecting the gas mixer shortly after installation and then annually to confirm that only clean, dry gases are used. You can verify its operation by comparing it to the “as-made” test certificate provided with the mixer.
Additionally, refurbishing the gas mixing valves after five years is advised; this involves replacing internal components and recalibrating the mixer to restore precision. If your facility has added new equipment, such as more welding drop points or packaging machines, this could impact the gas mixer’s performance. It’s important to take the age, usage, and any modifications into account when deciding if maintenance is needed.
In the event of any changes made, we can determine if they are causing the observed issues. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
