Method Nitrogen regulator?

[Endoflifer]

I ordered a nitrogen regulator but am not sure that's what I got. In any case, the picture on the website showed a LPM gauge, and this doesn't seem to have one. Can anyone enlighten me? I suppose I'll have to exchange it, but I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance!

The shop told me that this one is for nitrogen and that the regulator with an LPM gauge is for argon/mixed gas. Does anyone know whether I can use this and how to set it at 15 LPM? Or whether I should exchange it for the argon regulator and use that instead? Help would be appreciated, obviously!

It's going to be really hard if not super expensive to find a flow-meter meant for nitrogen (might even be more expensive than the canister). You could purchase an argon flowmeter which should have readings that doesn't deviate too heavily from nitrogen.

From my research you can't really convert the above readings into LPM in the same way you could convert argon flowrate to nitrogen flowrate. In my setup (take with a pile of salt), I used the regulator to test the fullness of the canister and the argon flowmeter for the actual gas release.

Thanks, I'll exchange it then!
