This manual provides operating instructions, selection guidelines, and maintenance information for Swagelok KPR and KCY pressure regulator series.
This document describes the Swagelok KPR and KCY pressure regulators, covering their technical characteristics, operation, and selection criteria. It details the internal mechanisms, such as the corrugated diaphragm and piston sensors, and explains how the two-piece body design ensures linear sealing load. The manual also addresses specific features like the self-vent option and the gauge port configuration. This manual is written in Portuguese.

No, Swagelok pressure regulators are not considered 'Safety Accessories' according to the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
No, the regulator should not be used as a locking device.
The self-vent option allows excess outlet pressure to be vented through the body cap, which can occur when downstream flow is suddenly reduced.
