How do I identify the year of manufacture of a pressure regulator from GOK?
Each pressure regulator from GOK has a type label. The most important (output) features of the fitting are printed here, including the year of manufacture.
The type label exists in different colours and is stuck to the top of the pressure regulator housing. Among other things, you will find the part number, information on the maximum admissible inlet pressure, outlet pressure, mass flow rate of the gas and the field of application of the pressure regulator.
The year of manufacture is printed at the bottom of the type label in two versions:
- In the case of older pressure regulators, in addition to the year of manufacture, the month is also on the type label and in MM.YY format. If, for example, you find the figure 05.12 on your fitting, GOK produced it in May 2012.
- In the case of newer versions of pressure regulators, you will only find the year of manufacture on the type label, regardless of whether the fitting was produced in January, June or December of that year. But the year of manufacture is still in the same position.
