DESCRIPTION
The K1000-K3000 is an axial-flow, single-stage, multi-functional
pilot-operated regulator giving accurate and stable pressure
control with high speed responses. Its usage varies from
«networks» to «individual clients» and includes the following
functions:
• Regulation • Integral slam shut valve • Incorporated filter
• Noise attenuation • Flow straightener
A novel design allows a turbine meter or rotary piston meter to be
mounted directly to the outlet flange of the regulation unit, while
retaining full meter accuracy. The K1000-K3000 includes the
new slam shut technology OS2 and the Francel Piloting
System
System. It is equipped with a flow straightener which allows it to
be classified in the category of silent or low noise regulators.

OPERATION
ERAT
The regulator operates by admitting modulated pressure. Gas
enters the regulator by the inlet flange, flows through the filter,
inside which it reaches the slam shut valve. The gas then flows
through the pilot relay which regulates the outlet pressure.

ULAT
The K1000-K3000 is an axial-flow pilot-operated regulator. The
position of the valve depends on the flow rate and the pilot
control of the modulated pressure.

Type K1000-K3000
The filter is directly incorporated inside the body of the K1000-
K3000 and is composed of a polyester filtering cartridge which
assures the protection of sensitive mechanical parts.
