DIN 230 Female to Helium Male Adapter

DIN 230 Female to Helium Male Adapter - SCUBATEC

This professional Scubatec adapter is a critical component for gas transfer and blending. It allows the interfacing of industrial standard Helium (He) sources with DIN diving equipment.

Specifically, the adapter connects a source with a Helium (female) connection, typically found on "T-Ped" industrial cylinders or helium cylinder banks, to a transfer hose or a terminal with a DIN 230 (male) connection.

Technical Specifications:

• Side A (DIN Connection): DIN 230 bar Female connection (G 5/8" internal thread). Universal standard compatible with regulators, pressure gauges, and scuba fill hoses.
• Side B (Helium Connection): Helium Male connection (specific external thread for Helium according to UNI/industrial standards). This connection is designed to screw directly onto the valve of pure Helium supply cylinders.
• Material: High-resistance marine-grade brass, subjected to a heavy electrolytic chrome plating process. This ensures superior protection against oxidation and guarantees thread longevity.
• Scubatec Quality: Entirely manufactured in Italy, with millimeter mechanical tolerances ensuring perfect pneumatic sealing even at high pressures.

Common Applications:

• Gas Blending (Trimix): Essential for the blender technician who needs to transfer pure helium from industrial cylinders to scuba cylinders using DIN transfer hoses.
• Gas Analysis: Allows connecting helium/trimix analyzers with a DIN connection directly to the main helium cylinder to check its purity before blending.
• Filling Stations: Standard component for technical filling benches and blending panels.

Safety and Use:

• Operating Pressure: Certified for safe use up to 230 bar.
• Sealing: The precision of the threading and the O-ring seat (where provided) minimize gas leakage, a fundamental factor given the high cost of helium.
• Maintenance: It is recommended to protect the threads after use with dust caps and to periodically check the condition of the contact surfaces to always ensure a watertight seal.
  

The technician's opinion:

Helium is a gas with extremely small molecules, capable of leaking where air or oxygen would not pass. Using a high-quality adapter like the Scubatec, with perfectly calibrated threads, is essential to avoid wasting expensive gas and ensure fast and safe transfer operations.
