322-00240000 - Miller Smith 320 Series High Purity Stainless Steel Two-Stage Regulator, 0-100 PSI, CGA 580

Precision Control for High Purity Applications

The Miller Smith 322-00-24-00-00 is a premium component of the 320 Silverline Series, engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of high purity, corrosive, and non-corrosive gas regulation. Constructed from 316 stainless steel bar stock, this two-stage regulator is designed to maintain the integrity of the gas stream while providing unyielding durability in challenging environments. The unit features a 316 stainless steel filtered seat which not only enhances the purity of the gas being delivered but also significantly extends the service life of the regulator by preventing particulate damage.

At the heart of this regulator is a convoluted stainless steel diaphragm that offers superior sensitivity and precise control over delivery pressure. Unlike elastomeric diaphragms that can contaminate high-purity streams, this metal-to-metal diaphragm seal ensures maximum leak integrity, a critical factor when handling hazardous or expensive specialty gases. The two-stage architecture is essential for applications requiring constant delivery pressure; it automatically compensates for the drop in cylinder pressure as the gas is consumed, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments.

Safety and versatility are paramount in the 320 Series design. The regulator includes a captured vent port (1/16 inch FNPT) in the bonnet, allowing users to pipe hazardous gases away safely in the unlikely event of a diaphragm failure. Furthermore, the device is engineered to withstand internal vacuums, making it compatible with purging operations necessary for maintaining system purity during cylinder changes. With large, easy-to-read 2-1/2 inch gauges and panel mounting capabilities, this regulator is a robust solution for laboratory, analytical, and process control applications requiring a CGA 580 connection and 0-100 PSI delivery range.
