Q How do I set and lock the output pressure of a regulator?
A Turn the adjustment knob clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease, using a pressure gauge for verification.
Once set, secure the knob with the locking ring (if equipped) to prevent accidental changes during operation.

Q What are the best practices for installing pneumatic components?
A Cleanliness: Flush pipelines with compressed air to remove debris before connecting components.
Orientation: Install filters/regulators in the direction of airflow (follow arrow marks); mount regulators vertically for optimal diaphragm performance (unless specified otherwise).
Torque: Use a torque wrench to avoid over-tightening (e.g., 12–18 N·m for G1/4 threads) and damaging threads.

Q What materials are suitable for corrosive or high-temperature environments?
A Bodies: Stainless steel (316SS) for marine/chemical use; anodized aluminum for lightweight, non-corrosive setups.
Seals: FKM (Viton) for high temperatures (up to 150°C) or oil resistance; EPDM for water/steam; NBR for standard air applications.

Q How do I choose the right pneumatic source treatment component for my application?
A Prioritize key parameters:
Pressure range (e.g., 0.5–16 bar for regulators, max inlet pressure for filters).
Port size (G1/8, NPT 1/4", etc.) and thread type (parallel/tapered).
Filtration efficiency (5μm, 1μm, or activated carbon for oil vapor).
Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, corrosive gases).
Industry standards (food-grade, explosion-proof, or medical compliance).
