SGI regulators & accessories

A cylinder is only as accurate as the way the gas reaches the sensor. VGAS cylinders are supplied with SGI regulators — the gauge on the regulator doubles as a contents gauge for the cylinder.

SGI fixed-flow regulator with contents gauge

SGI fixed-flow regulator

Pre-set constant flow for diffusion sensors and calibration caps: 0.3, 0.5 or 1.0 LPM, other rates on request. The integrated gauge reads cylinder contents in bar and psi.

SGI demand-flow regulator, two views

SGI demand-flow regulator

Opens only when the instrument pump draws gas, matching the flow the instrument needs (roughly 0.2 – 4 LPM). The right choice for pumped and aspirated detectors, and it wastes nothing between measurements.

Body material by gas type

Nickel-plated brass for non-reactive mixtures, stainless steel for reactive gases such as Cl₂, HCl, NH₃ and HCN. A brass regulator on a reactive gas costs you concentration before the gas ever reaches the sensor.

Connections

Connection Thread Used on
CGA C105/8"-18 UNF34, 60 and 112 L disposable cylinders (standard)
CGA 6009/16"-18 UNF34 L cylinders with a 600-series valve
CGA 5900.965"-14 NGOLarger refillable cylinders

Also supplied

  • Calibration caps for common portable detectors
  • PTFE and Tygon tubing, 3 mm and 5 mm bore
  • Carry cases for cylinder plus regulator
  • Cylinder holders and bench stands

Reactive gases such as Cl₂, HCl, NH₃ and NO₂ need a stainless-steel regulator and PTFE tubing. Ask us before reusing a brass regulator on those mixtures.
