Type 100
Precision Air Pressure Regulator
Accurate, stable and dependable pressure regulation

The Type 100 is a high precision, multi-stage pressure

regulator. This pressure controller provides the highest
level of regulation accuracy and repeatability available.
The Type 100 is ideal for applications that call for the
utmost in control and maximum stability under variable
operating conditions. A stainless steel measuring
capsule is used as a sensing element to activate the high
gain servo balanced control mechanism in which the
main valve is controlled by a pilot valve. This allows for
greater accuracy and eliminates many of the problems
associated with conventional regulators using range
springs and diaphragms.

Features
• Accurate Pressure Regulation
Controls output pressure to within 0.1%
accuracy. Regulated pressure variation
as small as 0.01 psig is self corrected.
• Stable Output
Substantial changes in flow have
virtually no effect on regulated pressure
from dead end to 12 SCFM.
• Dependable Startup
Returns the regulated pressure to its
original output setting even after long
“down time”.
• High and Extra High Relief Capacity
An optional high flow relief valve
provides quick response when regulated
pressure is reset to a lower value or
when there is a large amount of system
back pressure to be relieved.
• Temperature Stability
A stainless steel measuring capsule
which activates the servo-control
mechanism minimizes effects on
regulated pressure by wide variations
in operating temperature.
• Locking Capability
Locking nut prevents inadvertent
pressure adjustment.
• Plunger Operation Model Available
• Low Range Model with Output
Pressure Below 2.0 psig
• Bottom Ported Model with Mount Kit
for Manifold Mounting
