Description
Overview
The Type 7000 Precision Air Pressure Regulator is designed for applications requiring exceptionally high flow capacity while maintaining precise pressure control, low droop, and stable downstream performance. Unlike conventional high-flow regulators that often sacrifice regulation accuracy under varying demand conditions, the Type 7000 combines large flow capability with the sensitivity and stability required for process control, industrial automation, instrumentation, and OEM pneumatic systems.
Capable of supporting flows up to 250 SCFM, the Type 7000 utilizes an isolated control chamber and balanced supply valve design to minimize the effects of supply pressure variation and downstream flow changes. This advanced design helps maintain stable outlet pressure while reducing vibration and pressure fluctuations during dynamic operating conditions.
Available in 1/4″, 1/2″, and 3/4″ NPT port sizes with pressure ranges from 0-2 psig through 0-200 psig, the Type 7000 provides a versatile solution for applications requiring high-capacity pressure regulation, precise adjustment, and dependable long-term performance. Multiple options, including low-bleed, near-zero leakage, non-relieving, and ATEX-certified configurations, allow users to tailor the regulator to specific operational requirements.
