Miniature pressure regulators

Kuhn Special Steel is a privately owned German company specialised in the production of stainless steel compo- nents for capital goods. Using the centrifugal casting technique, Kuhn Special Steel produces up to 260 tons of raw, pre-processed or finish- processed stainless steel products per week. The company’s large material spectrum ranges from low-alloy steels to iron- free alloys including austenitic steels, martensitic and ferritic stainless steels as well as a large number of duplex steels. The large variety of materials in combination with the efficiency of the centrifugal casting technique ensures quality and is a competitive alternative

to forged materials wherever rotation- symmetrical geometries are required.

For 50 years the company has manufactured components according to customers’ drawings and speci- fications for more than 30 different industries, where high wear-resistance, corrosion-resistance and precision are required, such as shipbuilding (eg bushes for rudder stocks, engineering parts for diesel engines), decanter industry (conveyor bodies, decanter bowls), food industry (bushings, drums), and steelworks (mono cast rolls and bimetal-component rolls or shells).

The new PRD3HP miniature pressure regulator from Beswick is capable of reducing inlet pressures as high as 3,000 psig down to 0.5 psig. The regulator, which weighs only 79g and has a space saving diameter of only 1.03", was a finalist in Design News magazine’s Golden Mousetrap contest. The PRD3HP joins Beswick’s extensive range of miniature pressure regulators.
