Proportion-Air is expanding its expertise in proportional electro-pneumatic pressure and flow control into the testing equipment field with its newest product, the Proportion-Air Supply. This benchtop unit for lab or manufacturing use is designed to regulate compressed air and other gases within prescribed pressure and flow limits for easy use.
Perfect for developing, testing, and diagnosing pneumatic equipment, the Proportion-Air Supply fits onto a work bench alongside tools like power supplies and oscilloscopes. Executing burst tests, creating flow curves, and calibrating air-piloted regulators are just a few of the applications this durable device can accomplish.
The compact, all-in-one unit replaces the need for separate regulators and flow gauges attached to needle valves, a common setup for pneumatic testing. Each device includes two channel options. One output channel is solely for pressure regulation, ideal for simple testing processes. A second channel regulates flow or pressure at the same time, similar to the way a variable DC power supply regulates voltage or current. Easy-to-read digital panel meters show the pressure or flow being achieved, and LED lights indicate power and when the desired pressure or flow has reached its setpoint.
The Proportion-Air Supply works with shop air, instrument air, or inert bottle gases. Standard pressure ranges are 0-50 psi (0-3 bar) or 0-100 psi (0-7 bar). Channel 1 can deliver flow rates up to 16.2 scfm at 50 psi (3 bar) and up to 28 scfm at 100 psi (7 bar). Channel 2 offers a flow testing capability of up to 10 scfm.
