UHP gas pressure regulator reduces system footprint Print E-mail

ImageProduct Briefing Outline: The new ultrahigh-purity, manually adjustable Swagelok HFE series gas pressure regulator supports flow rates up to 160 std L/min and maximum inlet pressures up to 150 psig (10.3 bar). It is designed for 1 1/8 in. C-ring integrated gas systems.


Problem:
Regulators will often experience a drop in outlet pressure as gas flow increases through the regulator (droop).  This may require manual adjustments.  Flow may also be an issue. Footprint (or the size of teh componet) is another principal concern for users in the field.

Solution: The Swaelok HFE series manual gas pressure regulator is designed for 1 1/8 in. top mounted systems for compact, close spacing of components. It contains a welded diaphram and features an innovative, pressure-sensing assembly (with perfluoroelastomer poppet) that interacts with a load spring to provide excellent lock-up performance.  Accuracy and low droop os the result.  Outlet pressure is easily adjusted by turning the handle.  An optional tamper resistant handle allows the user to set and seal outlet pressure. Two outlet pressure ranges are available-vacuum to 30 psig (2.0 bar) and vacuum to 60 psig (4.1 bar). The HFE series regulator is assembled, double-bagged, and vacuum-sealed in an ISO Class 4 clean room and features a 316L VIM-VAR stainless steel body internally electropolished and finished to 5uin. (0.13 um) Ra. A tied poppet provides a positive-shutoff and metal-to-metal seal to atmosphere for ultrahigh-purity applications.

Applications:
Semiconductor ultra-high purity applications for gas systems and process lines.

Platform: The HFE series regulator is designed for a 1 1/8 in. C-ring modular platform; complaint with SEMI Draft Document 37001A.

Availability: June 2004 onwards.
