I have *a camping gaz bottle that holds six pounds of butane and it is

Recently, my wife bought herself a new double burner and grill unit
which came with a regulator and pipe. The regulator, which is flattish
and about 2 to 3 inches in diam. and is marked up 28. This looks like
being a diaphragm type letting out gas at 28mB.

The bottle was originally bought for a double burner and grill about 40
years ago (tilly titan IIRC)and the regulator we used on it is about an
inch tall, disregarding the threaded parts and about 7/8 of an inch in
diam.
I have just tried blowing through it after opening the valve and there
is very little resistance.Does anyone know at what pressure the gas
comes out it?

You need to be aware that there is propane and there is butane and
there is the two mixed.

I am aware of this. The bottle is blue.

These regulators can be adjusted if you take
the top off. *Screwing the screw revealed IN increases pressure. *Be
carefull there are no leaks when you put the top back on.

My question was not about this type, as I am quite familiar with how
they work.

My question was about the high pressure outlet of the one I could blow
throw when I opened the valve. What is the pressure of the gas flow
through it?

The outlet pressure is 28 mbar - the normal pressure for most butane
appliances in UK. Blowing through it should be like blowing through a
pin hole. Just a tiny hiss. *If you blow backwards it should close
up.

Very simple to see if the regulator works, fire up both burners then
adjust one.
