Gas Pressure Regulators
Gas pressure regulators are employed to regulate high-pressure gases anywhere from 6,000 psig down to 400 psig. Various types and styles of lab gas regulators are available. The most common type is a metal-to-metal diaphragm type, typically with a 3,000 psig maximum inlet pressure and deliver pressure ranges from 30 to 150 psig (other ranges available as well). Specialty gas regulators can be constructed of brass or stainless steel bar stock bodies.
Regulator internals are typically constructed of stainless steel with PCTFE or CTFE. As discussed in the changeover manifold section, high-purity brass regulators can be designed with Monel and Hastelloy internals to create an ultra-safe regulator for oxygen handling. Regulators are available in single stage and two stage, with various porting configurations for mounting directly on gas cylinders or in-line type applications.
Several accessories can be placed on the lab gas regulators themselves, including Compressed Gas Association (CGA) fittings (keyed for a specific gas service), inlet and/or outlet isolation valves, inlet and/or outlet pressure gauges, pressure relief valves, pressure switches, etc.
Specialty gas regulators can be panel mounted, supplied with a flexible pigtail to connect to the cylinder. This single-station manifold ensures that the regulator is safely secured and that the gas remains pure. In cases where regulators are employed at the point of application, they can be installed in point of use panels. Regulators can be single- or two-stage types.
