DIN 230 Female to Elio Male Adapter

DIN 230 Female to Elio Male Adapter - SCUBATEC

This professional Scubatec adapter is a critical component for gas transfer and blending. It allows helium (He) sources equipped with standard industrial connections to be connected to DIN-standard diving equipment.

Specifically, the adapter allows you to connect a source with a helium connection (female), typically found on industrial "T-Ped" cylinders or helium cylinder bundles, to a transfer hose or a fitting with a DIN 230 connection (male).

Technical Specifications:

• Side A ( DIN Connection): 230 bar DIN Female Connector (G 5/8" internal thread). Universal standard compatible with regulators, pressure gauges, and underwater refill hoses.
• Side B (Helium Connection): Male Helium Connection (external threading specific to helium in accordance with UNI/industrial standards). This connection is designed to screw directly onto the valve of cylinders containing pure helium.
• Material: High-strength marine-grade brass, treated with a heavy-duty electroplated chrome finish. This provides superior protection against oxidation and ensures the longevity of the threads.
• Scubatec Quality: Entirely manufactured in Italy, with mechanical tolerances measured in millimeters that ensure a perfect airtight seal even at high pressures.

Common Applications:

• Gas Blending (Trimix): Essential for gas blending technicians who need to transfer pure helium from industrial cylinders to diving cylinders using DIN transfer hoses.
• Gas Analysis: Allows helium/trimix analyzers with a DIN connection to be connected directly to the helium master cylinder to check its purity before mixing.
• Charging Stations: Standard component for technical charging stations and mixing panels.

Safety and Use:

• Working Pressure: Certified for safe use up to 230 bar.
• Seal: The precision of the thread and the O-ring seat (where applicable) minimize gas leaks, a critical factor given the high cost of helium.
• Maintenance: We recommend protecting the threads with dust caps after use and periodically checking the condition of the contact surfaces to ensure a tight seal at all times.
  

The coach's opinion:

Helium is a gas with extremely small molecules, capable of seeping through spaces that air or oxygen cannot pass through. Using a high-quality adapter like the Scubatec, with perfectly calibrated threads, is essential to prevent waste of expensive gas and ensure quick and safe transfer operations.
