EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM G175 testing. For the purposes of this standard, a pressure regulator, also called a pressure reducing valve, is a device used for medical or emergency purposes to convert medical or emergency gas pressure from a high, variable pressure to a lower pressure.
Some of these oxygen pressure regulators are a combination of a pressure regulator and a cylinder valve. These devices are often called valve-integrated pressure regulators or VIPRs.
This standard provides an evaluation tool for determining ignition sensitivity and fault tolerance of oxygen pressure regulators and VIPRs used in medical and emergency applications. An ignition sensitive pressure regulator or VIPR is defined as having a high probability of ignition as judged by the rapid pressurization test. A fault tolerant pressure regulator or VIPR is defined as having a low ignition result as judged by the forced ignition test.
This standard only applies to:
This standard is a test standard, not a design standard; This test standard is not intended to replace traditional design requirements for oxygen cylinder valves, pressure regulators, and VIPRs.
This standard does not purport to address the ignition accuracy and fault tolerance of an oxygen regulator or VIPR caused by contamination during field maintenance or use. Pressure regulator and VIPR designers and manufacturers should provide design measures to minimize the potential for or consequences of contamination.
