Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information on the ACG/ARG/AWG Series of regulators and filter regulators, focusing on design improvements, functionality, and environmental durability.

Key Features:

Improved Visibility: The pressure gauge is mounted on top of the knob for enhanced visibility.
Environmental Durability: Features a 2-layer construction with a transparent bowl guard to protect against corrosive chemicals and oil splashes.
Space and Labor Saving: Reduced installation height by approximately 30 mm, eliminating the need for machining holes for the pressure gauge.
Adjustable Mounting Angles: The pressure gauge can be mounted at various angles (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) to accommodate different piping directions.
Modular Design: Allows for easy modular connections with options for different port sizes and configurations.

Specifications:

Body Sizes: Available in sizes 20, 30, and 40.
Port Sizes: Options include 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2.
Pressure Range: Set pressure range from 0.05 to 0.85 MPa.
Temperature Range: Operates between -5 to 60 °C without freezing.
Filtration Rating: Nominal filtration rating of 5 μm.

Procedures and Recommendations:

Installation: Ensure correct alignment of the lock button with the body groove to prevent damage.
Pressure Relief: Use a regulator with a backflow function when mounting a pressure relief valve to ensure complete release of residual pressure.
Auto Drain Operation: Operate under specified conditions to avoid malfunction, particularly for float type auto drains.

Attachments and Options:

Includes options for pressure gauges, auto drains, spacers, check valves, pressure switches, and pressure relief valves.

Warnings and Cautions:

Ensure correct flow direction when mounting check valves.
Use appropriate air filters to prevent damage from dust.

Models and Port Sizes: Models ARG20(K)-B, ARG30(K)-B, and ARG40(K)-B are available with port sizes ranging from 1/8 to 1/2. The AWG series follows similar specifications.

Mounting and Options: Various mounting angles for pressure gauges are available, including special angles. Options include brackets, set nuts for panel mounting, and different pipe thread types.

Backflow Function: Models with a backflow function allow for the release of outlet pressure back to the inlet side, useful for residual pressure disposal.

Warnings and Maintenance: Periodically check the pressure gauge, especially when using the backflow function. Operate the regulator knob manually to prevent damage.

Construction and Materials: Includes a relieving type mechanism with materials such as polycarbonate for the bowl and NBR for seals. Part numbers for replacement parts are provided.

Flow Rate and Pressure Characteristics: Flow rate characteristics are provided for different models under specific conditions.

Additional Features: The AWG series includes integrated filter and regulator units, saving space and reducing piping needs. Options for automatic and manual drain mechanisms are detailed.

Component Parts and Materials: Lists various components and their materials for the AWG20-B to AWG40-B series, including pressure gauge covers and check valve assemblies.

Working Principle: The filter regulator with a built-in pressure gauge and backflow function operates by closing the check valve when the inlet pressure is higher than the regulating pressure.

Specifications and Dimensions: Detailed specifications for models AWG20(K)-B to AWG40(K)-B, including port sizes, proof pressure, and set pressure ranges, are provided.

Design and Selection Warnings: Warnings regarding the use of polycarbonate bowls in environments with organic solvents and chemicals are provided.

Maintenance and Adjustment: Instructions for maintenance include replacing the element every two years or when the pressure drop reaches 0.1 MPa.

Safety Precautions: Safety instructions emphasize the importance of releasing inlet and outlet pressure before replacing or changing the mounting angle of a pressure gauge.

International Standards and Safety Regulations: Adherence to international standards such as ISO 4414, ISO 4413, IEC 60204-1, and ISO 10218-1 is outlined.

Safety Instructions:

Caution: Indicates low-risk hazards that could cause minor injuries.
Warning: Indicates medium-risk hazards that could cause serious injuries or death.
Danger: Indicates high-risk hazards that will cause serious injuries or death.

Product Usage: Intended for manufacturing industries and not suitable for legal metrology purposes.

Limited Warranty and Disclaimer:

The warranty period is 1 year in service or 1.5 years after delivery, whichever comes first.
Failures within the warranty period due to manufacturing defects will be addressed by providing replacement products or parts.

Compliance Requirements:

SMC products must not be used in the production of weapons of mass destruction.
Export of SMC products must comply with relevant security laws and regulations.

Operational Safety:

Product compatibility is the responsibility of the equipment designer.
Only trained personnel should operate machinery and equipment.
Ensure safety before servicing or removing products.
Special safety considerations are required for certain conditions and environments.

Contact Information: Contact details for SMC Corporation offices across various European countries are provided for further assistance.

Regulator with Built-in Pressure Gauge/Filter Regulator with Built-in Pressure Gauge ACG/ARG/AWG Series Transparent bowl guard ˾ Better environmental resistance: Transparent bowl guard can protect the inner bowl! Windows on the bowl guard have been removed and the inner bowl is instead covered with a polycarbonate transparent bowl guard. Now, even if the environment changes and the bowl is exposed to corrosive chemical or oil splash, the foreign matter will not stick directly to the pressurized bowl. This can reduce risk of bowl breakage. Transparent bowl guard Existing model Cracks may occur...
