A gas stream monitor shall be provided that facilitates the adjustment of the reseat flow. The gas stream monitor consists of a gas-tight casing whose interior is equipped with a seat for a reseat body that is movable inside the casing and is kept in open position against the flow direction by weight and/or spring force, in which the flow cross-section, surface area of the reseat body and the forces are determined in such a manner that gas stream monitor leaves its open position at a defined value of the reseat flow and is moved towards the seat of the casing, so that the gas conduit is closed in the shut position, and has outside the casing at least one manipulator to adjust the spring pre-tension and/or the stroke of the reseat body. The gas stream monitor serves to automatically shut off gas conduits upon the occurrence of an inadmissible flow increase due to, e.g. a damaged gas conduit or a defective consumer.
A gas stream monitor to automatically shut off gas conduits, consisting of a gas-tight casing (1) that has in its interior a valve seat (16) for a reseat body (15) that is movable inside the casing (1) and which is kept in open position against the flow direction by its own weight and/or spring force, in which the flow cross-section, surface area of the reseat body (15) and forces are determined in such a manner that reseat body (15) leaves its open position upon a defined value of the reseat flow and is moved towards the valve seat (16) of the casing (1) so that the gas outlet (2) is closed in the shut position and a manipulator (8), arranged outside of the casing (1), that has a tappet (7) projecting into the casing (1) interior which is used to adjust the spring pre-tension and/or the stroke of the reseat body (15), characterised in that the manipulator (8) is supported by a slide block (12).
