Pressure Regulator Operation


Regulators reduce the pressure of a gas or liquid from a source, such as a cylinder or compressor, to a lower value
needed by a device, such as an analyzer. A pressure regulator provides better resolution and control when its inlet
and control range pressures closely match the pressure requirements of the fluid handling system. Resolution is the
number of handle turns needed to adjust a regulator from its lowest to highest outlet pressure setting. Control is the
ability of the regulator to hold a given outlet pressure set point.

Pressure-Reducing Regulators Vaporizing


Pressure-reducing regulators control outlet pressure by Vaporization regulators are available with electric and

is adjusted by turning the stem/handle, which sets the
desired outlet pressure. Supply-Pressure Effect
As inlet pressure decreases, the force balance changes. Supply-pressure effect (SPE) or dependency is a ratio
To compensate, outlet pressure will increase. This describing the change in outlet pressure per 100 psi

pressure increases as supply pressure decreases. The

can also be realized on system startup or shutdown.

8 Pressure Regulators, K Series

Two-Stage Diaphragm-Sensing,
Pressure-Reducing Regulators (KCY Series)
The KCY series is designed for use in applications requiring constant outlet pressure
even with wide variations in inlet pressure. This two-stage regulator is comparable to two
single-stage regulators connected in series. The first stage is factory set to reduce the
inlet pressure to 500psig (34.4 bar). The second stage can be adjusted with the handle to
achieve the required outlet pressure.
This two-stage arrangement minimizes the supply-pressure effect caused by fluctuating inlet
pressure, such as with a depleting gas cylinder. As inlet pressure drops below the setting of the
first stage, the regulator then functions as a single-stage regulator. The first-stage pressure setting
can be reduced while monitoring the pressure at the interstage port, but lower flow may result.

24 Pressure Regulators, K Series

General-Purpose Diaphragm-Sensing
Back-Pressure Regulators (KBP Series)
The KBP series is a high-sensitivity, general-purpose regulator designed to control
back-pressure levels in analytical or process systems upstream of the regulator.
The convoluted diaphragm provides excellent sensitivity and set-point repeatability.
The metal-to-metal diaphragm seal minimizes the potential for leakage.

Gas Cylinder Changeover Regulator (KCM Series)


The KCM series is a two-stage gas delivery system that ensures continuous flow of
gases in critical applications. When one supply drops below the changeover pressure,
the selector regulator automatically switches the gas feed from the depleted supply to
an alternate supply. The automatic operation of the KCM series eliminates costly system
downtime and maintenance expense of continuously monitoring the gas supply.

Electrically Heated Vaporizing


Pressure-Reducing Regulator (KEV Series)

The KEV series is an electrically heated vaporizing regulator


with a low internal volume. It can be used to vaporize liquid
samples or to preheat gas samples to prevent them from
condensing. It features a heating element that is in direct
contact with the process fluid for maximum thermal efficiency
and is removable for easy cleaning. The KEV regulator has
an integral temperature controller and is rated for use in
hazardous areas, as identified below.

regulator pressure or temperature
ratings. Additional materials, options,
and accessories are available.
Contact your authorized Swagelok
representative for more information.
