Types of AFNOR Gas Cylinder Connectors
- AFNOR Type F Connector
The AFNOR Type F connector is commonly used for oxygen (O₂) and other high-purity gases in medical and industrial applications. It features a right-hand thread design and is built for leak-proof performance, ensuring the safe delivery of gas in sensitive environments.
Applications:✔ Medical oxygen supply systems✔ Industrial gas welding and cutting✔ Laboratory gas handling
- AFNOR Type C Connector
The AFNOR Type C connector is primarily used for nitrogen (N₂) and inert gases. This connector is designed to prevent cross-connection mistakes and is optimized for high-pressure gas applications.
Applications:✔ Cryogenic nitrogen storage✔ Industrial gas transportation✔ Laser cutting and welding systems
- AFNOR Type E Connector
The AFNOR Type E connector is designed for flammable gases such as acetylene (C₂H₂) and hydrogen (H₂). It is equipped with a left-hand thread to prevent accidental connection with non-flammable gas systems, ensuring compliance with ATEX and safety regulations.
Applications:✔ Acetylene welding and cutting equipment✔ Hydrogen fuel cell technology✔ Chemical and research laboratories
