PCD–Dual Valve Absolute and Gauge Pressure Controllers
Fast-responding pressure or vacuum control for closed volumes.
Order Directly from Alicat
Control the absolute pressure (referenced to vacuum) or gauge pressure (referenced to local barometric pressure) of gases or liquids in your process. Alicat’s PCD series dual-valve pressure controllers use two proportional valves to precisely control the pressure of gases within closed or dead-ended volumes. They achieve new setpoints rapidly and stay put, even in the face of uneven feed pressure or changing temperatures. We’ll use your application parameters to customize your valve and PID tuning to ensure that your controller delivers fast and stable control.
- Fast & Accurate. Very fast valves and PID control algorithms hit pressure setpoints in milliseconds with NIST-traceable accuracy.
- Connected. Easy integration into your digital industrial network with Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) or serial communications options.
- Efficient. The dual-valve design incorporates a second proportional valve to exhaust excess pressure, but only when needed to maintain your setpoint. This eliminates the need to continuously bleed costly gas.
Alicat’s PCD series uses small proportional valves for control at lower flow rates and is suitable for use with non-corrosive gases.

PCD3–Dual Valve Absolute and Gauge Pressure Controllers with Remote Sensing
Closed-volume pressure or vacuum control, anywhere you need it
Order Directly from Alicat
Measure absolute or gauge pressure at any point in your closed process volume, and control flow at a different point to ensure your pressure stays on target. Alicat’s PCD3 series dual-valve pressure controllers use two proportional valves to precisely control the pressure of gases within dead-ended volumes and physically isolates the pressure sensor from the valve and flow path so that you can control pressure exactly where you need it. This allows pressure control in areas where you cannot easily install a full pressure controller and reduces the effects of flow-induced pressure changes in high-flow applications. We’ll use your application parameters to customize your valve and PID tuning to ensure that your controller delivers fast and stable control.
- Fast & Accurate. Very fast valves and PID control algorithms hit pressure setpoints in milliseconds with NIST-traceable accuracy.
- Connected. Easy integration into your digital industrial network with Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) or serial communications options.
- Efficient. The dual-valve design incorporates a second proportional valve to exhaust excess pressure, but only when needed to maintain your setpoint. This eliminates the need to continuously bleed costly gas. Plumb the pressure sense port wherever you need to control pressure.

PCD–Dual Valve Differential Pressure Controllers
Closed-volume differential pressure control
Order Directly from Alicat
Measure the differential pressure between any two points in your closed process volume, and control flow at a different point to ensure the pressure differential remains constant. Alicat’s PCD series dual-valve pressure controllers use two proportional valves to precisely control the pressure of gases within dead-ended volumes. The two process ports connect to opposite sides of the differential pressure sensor; positive readings denote higher pressure at the left (upstream) process port, and negative readings denote higher pressure at the right (downstream) port. We’ll use your application parameters to customize your valve and PID tuning to ensure that your controller delivers fast and stable control.
- Fast & Accurate. Very fast valves and PID control algorithms hit pressure setpoints in milliseconds with NIST-traceable accuracy.
- Connected. Easy integration into your digital industrial network with EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, Profibus, Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP) or serial communications options.
- Efficient & Versatile. The dual-valve design incorporates a second proportional valve to exhaust excess pressure, but only when needed to maintain your setpoint. Plumb the two pressure ports wherever you need to measure and control the pressure difference. Or use the instrument as a gauge pressure controller by leaving the downstream port open to atmosphere.
