The CalGaz Model 2001 Demand Flow Regulator (DFR 2001) is a premium two-stage calibration gas regulator designed specifically for use with pumped gas detectors and gas analysers. Unlike fixed-flow regulators, the Model 2001 only delivers calibration gas when the instrument creates a vacuum, automatically matching the instrument’s demand and shutting off the gas flow as soon as the pump stops. This eliminates unnecessary gas waste while making bump testing and calibration faster, safer, and more economical.

Compatible with the most common disposable calibration gas cylinders, the Model 2001 is trusted across industries including pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, utilities, wastewater treatment, petrochemical facilities and confined space safety.


Key Features

  • Demand flow operation for pumped gas detectors
  • Two-stage regulator design for stable gas delivery
  • Automatically supplies only the gas required by the instrument
  • Stops gas flow immediately when the instrument pump stops
  • Eliminates the need for sample bags and external flow meters
  • Nickel-plated brass construction for durability
  • Easy-to-read pressure gauge
  • Suitable for most non-reactive calibration gas mixtures
  • Simple installation using standard C-10 cylinder connection
  • 24-month manufacturer warranty (recommended replacement after two years of service)

Benefits of a Demand Flow Regulator

Unlike traditional fixed-flow regulators, a demand flow regulator only supplies gas when the detector actively draws it through its internal pump.

This offers several important advantages:

  • Extends calibration gas cylinder life
  • Reduces wasted gas
  • Eliminates operator error when selecting flow rates
  • Faster calibration setup
  • No external flow meter required
  • No sample bags required
  • Consistent and repeatable gas delivery
  • Lower long-term operating costs
