Five New Swagelok Back-Pressure Regulator Models Provide Consistent Control
New Swagelok® back-pressure regulators provide consistent back-pressure control in a variety of analytical and process instrumentation applications. Available in a variety of piston-type and diaphragm-type designs, all models feature a captured inlet gauze-type filter and fine pitch stem threads for precise control.
Swagelok piston-type pressure regulators are commonly used in analyzer zero/span gas control, sample handling systems, manufacturing processes, laboratories, and other systems. Low internal volume allows rapid purging and limits the amount of surface area exposed to contamination. The design mechanically restricts the piston when the regulator is exposed to excess pressure. Three piston-type, back-pressure models are available:
- KCB series -- compact back-pressure regulator that provides high sensitivity for back-pressure control in sample conditioning systems
- KHB series -- high back-pressure regulator that provides sensitivity across the control range, up to 10 000 psig (689 bar)
- KPB series -- medium/high back-pressure regulator that provides back-pressure control up to 4000 psig (275 bar) in a compact, lightweight design
Swagelok diaphragm-type pressure regulators feature an alloy X-750 diaphragm and a leak-tight, metal-to-metal diaphragm seal. This mechanically robust design also helps maintain purity of the process media. Diaphragm-type pressure regulators are used in analyzer zero/span gas control, sampling systems, pilot plants, hydraulic and pneumatic test benches, research laboratories, and other systems. Two diaphragm-type, back-pressure regulators are available:
- KBP series -- offers high-sensitivity for back-pressure applications
- KFB series -- a high-sensitivity back-pressure regulator that maintains back-pressure control in high-flow applications, with Cv up to 1.0
