Abstract
A gauge for a hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator includes first indicia and second indicia. The first indicia provides an indication of a flow rate of a gas exiting an outlet of the hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator when the gas exits with a pressure below a gauge threshold pressure. The second indicia provides an indication of the pressure of the gas exiting the outlet of the hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator when the pressure of the gas exiting the outlet is above the gauge threshold pressure.

A single gauge for a hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator comprising:
- first indicia providing an indication of a flow rate of a gas exiting an outlet of the hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator when the gas exits with a pressure below a gauge threshold pressure;
- and
- second indicia providing an indication of the pressure of the gas exiting the outlet of the hybrid pressure and flowgauge regulator when the pressure of the gas exiting the outlet is above the gauge threshold pressure, wherein the first indicia and the second indicia are disposed in a radial area extending around an outer portion of a gauge face of the single gauge.
A gauge for a regulator comprising:
- flow rate indicia that provides an indication of a flow rate of a gas exiting an outlet of the regulator;
- and
- pressure indicia that provides an indication of a pressure of the gas exiting the outlet of the regulator, the flow rate indicia and the pressure indicia being provided on a single face of the gauge, wherein the flow rate indicia defines a zone for at least one of brazing and purging.
A gauge for a regulator comprising:
- flow rate indicia that provides an indication of a flow rate of a gas exiting an outlet of the regulator;
- and
- pressure indicia that provides an indication of a pressure of the gas exiting the outlet of the regulator, the flow rate indicia and the pressure indicia being provided on a single face of the gauge, wherein the flow rate indicia and the pressure indicia are disposed in a radial area extending around an outer portion of a gauge face of the gauge.
A gauge for a regulator comprising:
- flow rate indicia that provides an indication of a flow rate of a gas exiting an outlet of the regulator;
- pressure indicia that provides an indication of a pressure of the gas exiting the outlet of the regulator;
- the flow rate indicia and the pressure indicia being provided on a single face of the gauge;
- and
- a gauge needle that is rotatable through the flow rate indicia and the pressure indicia.
