3 PSI Pressure Regulator for Flow Control Systems

Choosing the right pressure regulator depends on several key factors: your required pressure range (options include 0-3" water, 0-5" water, 0-10" water, 0-30" water, 0-3 PSI, or 0-5 PSI), the number of channels needed (single, dual, 3-channel, or 4-channel for multi-lumen applications), your control type preference (manual, contact closure input, or 0-10V for PLC integration), and your required response time (standard at 2 minutes or high-speed at less than 0.1 second). On Line Controls' engineering team can provide expert guidance to match the right MicroAir model to your specific manufacturing requirements.

MicroAir pressure regulators come in two main types: manual control regulators, which use precision adjustment knobs for operator-controlled pressure settings, and electronic regulators, which accept input signals such as 0-10V or contact closures for automated PLC integration and high-speed control. High-speed electronic models feature voice-coil linear motors that respond in less than 0.1 second (typically 20 msec), compared to standard response times of 2 minutes.

The MicroAir series covers a wide range of ultra-low pressure requirements, with available options including 0-3" water, 0-5" water, 0-10" water, 0-15" water, 0-30" water, 0-3 PSI, and 0-5 PSI. This flexibility allows manufacturers to select the exact pressure range suited to their specific plastic tubing extrusion or flow control application.

Yes. The MicroAir IV series accepts 0-10V input signals for direct PLC integration and programmable high-speed switching. Models with contact closure input capability are also available for integration with automated control systems. These options offer three operational modes to accommodate different manufacturing setups and automation requirements.

These regulators are engineered for a variety of demanding manufacturing industries, including medical tubing manufacturing (such as catheter extrusion requiring strict dimensional tolerances), automotive tubing production, plastic profile extrusion, and multi-lumen tubing systems. Their ultra-low pressure control and high-speed response make them well-suited for any application where precise, consistent air pressure regulation is critical.

MicroAir pressure regulators are built for a 10-20 year operational lifespan and require no calibration throughout their entire service life. They maintain accuracy of +/- 0.1% full scale over decades of continuous operation, with customers reporting reliable performance for over a decade without calibration issues.

On Line Controls provides a three-year warranty on parts and labor for all MicroAir regulators. Support includes unlimited phone assistance for technical questions, 24-hour turnaround times for repair diagnosis, and upfront cost estimates for any service needed. A range change service is also available to adapt existing units to different pressure requirements, ensuring long-term flexibility for your manufacturing processes.
