I've been a technician in various forms all my life, but I realized I don't know jack about gas regulators.
I want to build up another kegging set (I bought a premade the first round), but I have the opportunity to save a lot of money by using some salvaged parts from work. I have 3 different regulators from medical gas setups (Medical Air - which is just cleaned-up breathing air, Lung Diffusion Gas which is kinda like trimix for SCUBA tanks with helium in it, and Medical Oxygen), and I'm wondering what I need to do to them to get them going as CO2 regulators beyond the obvious inlet/outlet fittings.
Are the delivery pressure gauge and inlet pressure gauges calibrated differently for different gasses / will that offset make my salvaged regulators unusable or just be kind of annoying?
