EPCD–Dual Valve OEM Electronic Pressure Controllers

Essential pressure control for dead-ended OEM applications

Dual-valve electronic pressure controllers use two proportional valves to precisely control the pressure of gases within closed or dead-ended volumes. They are highly customizable for easy integration within original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products. Alicat’s EPCD delivers high accuracy and fast, droop-free closed-loop control in a compact, competitively-priced package.

Repeatable. EPCD pressure regulators deliver NIST-traceable accuracy, reliable control and adjustable PID valve tuning to keep your product operation repeatable.
Efficient. Waste no more. The dual-valve design incorporates a second proportional valve to release excess pressure, which eliminates the need to continuously bleed costly gas.
Configurable. We can customize the valves, ports, sensors and communications to precisely suit your product design and application requirements.

Available Ranges (see Part Numbers tab for stock ranges)

Absolute pressure ranges (referenced to vacuum)
- EPC: max 0-300 psia, min 0-15 psia
Gauge pressure ranges (referenced to atmosphere)
- EPC: max 0*-300 psig, min 0*-2 inH2Og
- *Negative gauge pressure readings (to -15 psig) can also be included in gauge ranges.
