CO2 Flowmeter ?

[Doug W.]

I picked up a 20lb co2 tank for a backup source to take care of the problems I had in my first show.

I still need to pick up a dual gauge adj. meter for the tank, but I have 2 shows this weekend and I'm having a problem finding what I want here locally. Everyone can order it, but none have them in stock, my luck.

Anyway, a friend has a co2 flowmeter that I can have, but I don't know much about it or if it would work for airbrushing, niether does he.

It is a Harris model # 2-a70F flowmeter and says c02 at the top of the cylinder. Is the pressure on this adjustable, and would this work just for the weekend?

Thanks
Doug

Doug I have used a co2 flow meter before for airbrushing. The kind I have floats a ball as the gauge and doesn't really rate the airflow by PSI. It gave me the best airflow control I've ever had but as I said I didn't know what air pressure I was using. I also had to convert the inlet pipe & the outlet pipe to different couplers. I eventually went back to my air gauges.
