In the fields of industrial automation and pneumatic control, the accuracy of pressure regulation is directly related to production efficiency and product quality.
As a global leader in the field of precision fluid control, British NORGREN has launched many pneumatic components that are deeply trusted by the market with more than 90 years of technological accumulation and innovative spirit.
Among them, Norgren 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve stands out in many demanding industrial fields such as precision instruments, laboratory analysis, automated production lines and pilot control due to its excellent precision and reliability.
1. Precise control, starting from every detail
In many industrial applications, small fluctuations in pressure often lead to product failure or equipment failure.
Norgren 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve was born to solve this pain point.
As a compact high-precision pressure regulating valve, it focuses on applications that are extremely sensitive to pressure changes, such as pneumatic metering, laboratory analysis, and precision pilot control.
In the gas line system, the 11-018-100 pressure regulating valve is mainly suitable for compressed air and neutral gases, with an inlet pressure up to 10bar (standard unit) and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, which can meet the normal operation needs of most industrial environments.
The recommended adjustment pressure of this series of valve bodies under the standard unit is 0.07bar to 4bar. When equipped with a high-pressure unit, the inlet pressure can be increased to 13.8bar, the pressure range is extended to 0.2 to 10.3bar, and the precision can reach 0.011bar, which can almost achieve “millimeter-level” pressure regulation accuracy.
2. Industrial-grade protection to ensure long-term stability
In complex and changeable working conditions, the structural design of the pressure regulating valve often determines its service life.
Norgren 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve demonstrates the consistent high quality standards of the Norgren brand in terms of structural design and material selection.
The valve body’s shell and valve cover are made of high-strength zinc alloy material, which has excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance and can adapt to most industrial environments; the adjustment knob is made of polyacetal resin, which feels smooth and is not easy to wear, and can still maintain precise control after long-term use.
In addition, Norgren also fully considered the impact of possible impurities in the air source and adopted a double filter unit design inside the 11-018-100.
This design can effectively filter the air source before it enters the pilot valve, helping to prevent system leakage and operational failures caused by the intrusion of impurities, thus greatly improving the operational stability of the pneumatic system.
3. Safety overflow and quick panel installation
In actual production, when the output pressure suddenly exceeds the set value, if the pressure cannot be relieved in time, it may cause irreversible damage to the back-end equipment.
The 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve has a built-in integrated safety relief valve, which can automatically perform overflow and pressure relief when the output pressure exceeds the set value, effectively protecting the safety of downstream equipment.
This automatic overflow design not only improves the safety redundancy of the system, but also reduces the frequency of manual inspections and intervention, saving enterprises a lot of operation and maintenance costs.

The interface adopts G1/4-inch thread. If the user requires N.P.T. thread, flexible adaptation can also be achieved by replacing the specific identification code in the model.
For panel installation with a thickness above 8mm, the official recommendation is to use the panel mounting bracket 3081-01 to provide more stable support and prevent loosening or poor contact due to vibration.
4. Outstanding flow performance to meet the needs of diverse scenarios
In many industrial automation and laboratory scenarios, there are also high requirements for the flow performance of pressure regulating valves.
Norgren 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve has an input pressure of 8bar, an output pressure of 4bar, and a pressure drop of only 0.005bar. The maximum flow rate of the standard unit can reach 8dm³/s; while under the working condition of a high-pressure unit with 10bar input, 8bar output, and a pressure drop of 0.01bar, the maximum flow rate can also reach 4dm³/s.
This means that even when the back-end air consumption is large or the pipeline resistance is slightly high, the pressure regulating valve can still maintain a large flow output to ensure smooth operation of the entire system.
These excellent flow parameters make the 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve not only suitable for conventional industrial automation scenarios, but also widely used in sealing control of packaging machinery, pneumatic manipulators in automobile manufacturing lines, precision actuators of food and beverage processing equipment, and other occasions that require high flow and accuracy.
Its performance in the pilot control system is even more outstanding, and it can provide stable and reliable control signals for various large-flow main valves.
5. Procurement and Installation Guide
When companies purchase Norgren precision pressure regulating valve 11-018-100, it is recommended to purchase through Norgren authorized dealer channels to ensure that the product is original and authentic, and to obtain complete technical support and after-sales guarantee.
In terms of installation, special attention should be paid to several points: When using a panel installation with a hole diameter of 17.5mm and a thickness greater than 8mm, it is recommended to use the panel mounting bracket 3081 –
01 to provide more stable support; if you need to install a pressure gauge downstream to monitor the output pressure in real time, it is recommended to use a tee joint for connection, which can ensure the accuracy of readings and will not cause additional pressure loss to the main gas line; if the user needs a 1/4-inch N.P.T. thread instead of the standard G thread configuration, you can replace the “8” in the third digit of the model with “0”. For example, choose the corresponding non-standard version to match different types of pipe joints.
6. Choose Norgren, choose reliability
In the selection process of pneumatic components, the reliability of the equipment, the convenience of maintenance and the technical strength of the brand have always been the focus of engineering and technical personnel.
As a benchmark brand in the global industrial automation field, Norgren’s products have passed many stringent reliability evaluation standards in the industry (such as GB/T 38206.4 – 2021), and have a trustworthy market reputation in terms of voltage regulation accuracy and long-term service life.
Norgren 11-018-100 precision pressure regulating valve is the masterpiece of Norgren’s engineering team.
