Swagelok® Specialty Regulators
Specialty pressure regulators are designed to meet unique application needs such as gas cylinder changeover, steam-heating, and tank blanketing.
Request More InformationDesigned to fit in special applications:
- Steam-heated gas vaporization regulators (KSV series) accommodate phase changes
- Gas cylinder changeover regulators (KCM series) switch automatically between two gas sources, easing the burden and downtime associated with manual changeovers.
- Tank blanketing pressure regulators provide low pressure and high flow of an inert gas to the vapor space of a storage tank
