When it comes to selecting a suitable pressure reducer for your application, the amount of choices available can seem overwhelming. At Boiswood, we are committed to always being here to help guide you towards the best technical and commercial solution for your system.

There are a number gas regulator types available on the market, however as standard recommendations we always look to the following 2 product models to see if your requirements can be fulfilled:

PR1 Stainless Steel Pressure Regulator
Our standard pressure reducer is designed to fulfil a vast range of needs in instrumentation sample systems and other high-quality applications. Perfect for controlling pressures at low to moderate flows, these are reliable single stage regulators for gas and liquid service. The enhanced internal body surface finish of better than 25 Ra plus electropolishing allows for easier cleaning and less particle contamination in the flow stream. Available with five different seat materials, three alternate orifice sizes and seven pressure control ranges gives the end user a wide spectrum of capabilities.

C2 Stainless Steel Cylinder Regulator
Our two stage gas and water regulator offers precision pressure control for both bottle regulation and line pressure applications. Constructed of 316L Stainless Steel and PTFE, this pressure reducer valve boasts less than 0.01% outlet pressure change with varying inlet pressures and is favoured amongst gas calibration systems and semiconductor materials processing where the highest possible accuracy is critical. Suitable for service in corrosive streams, as well as inert service with potential surface absorption problems.

For more available options, why not try our new Stock Listing and Enquiry Guide to help with selecting a suitable pressure regulator, which can be downloaded by clicking on the image on the left.

We have optimised our stock profiles to ensure that both models are always readily available off-the-shelf in a variety of customised configurations. If you require any assistant sizing or selecting an inline pressure regulator, please get in touch with our expert team for guidance.

Whether you are looking to control Nitrogen, Air, CO2, Oxygen, Natural Gas or Helium, we have a solution that has got you covered. For any requirements of pressure regulators in the UK, look no further.
