The SMC AP100-02 is a pressure control valve (SMC regulator) designed for automatic air pressure valve control. It releases pressure over the set range into the atmosphere and constantly maintains the pressure in a pipe.
It is part of the SMC AP100 series smc safety valves and features a compact design that is easy to install and integrate into existing systems.
Product Features
Fast Response: The AP100-02 offers rapid switch speed and response time, allowing for quick control of gas flow and improved system efficiency.
Stable Pressure Control: When the inlet pressure exceeds the set value, the valve automatically vents excess pressure to the atmosphere, ensuring stable system pressure.
Compact Design: Its compact structure is designed for easy installation and integration into existing systems.
Corrosion Resistance: Made from die-cast aluminum, the valve offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation:
Ensure the valve is installed in an environment free from vibration and electromagnetic interference.
Use Rc 1/4 threads for connection, ensuring a secure and leak-free seal.
Follow the product manual for correct installation direction.
Adjustment:
Set the desired pressure range (0.05 to 0.69 MPa) using the adjustment nut.
Conduct a test run after installation to ensure the valve operates normally and there are no leaks.
Maintenance:
Regularly inspect the valve's seals and thread connections.
Clean the valve surface to remove dust and debris.
Replace seals if they show signs of aging or damage.
Precautions
Avoid Overpressure Operation: Ensure the inlet pressure does not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa.
Prevent Freezing: In low-temperature environments, take measures to prevent fluid freezing.
Not for Safety Valve Use: This SMC regulator should not be used as a safety valve.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can this product be used with other fluids?
The AP100-02 is primarily designed for air. Consult SMC technical support if the smc safety valves support other fluids.
2. How to adjust the set pressure?
Rotate the adjustment nut to set the desired pressure range. Clockwise rotation increases pressure, while counterclockwise rotation decreases it.
3. Is there a bracket option available?
Yes, the AP100-02B model includes a bracket for different installation needs.
4. What is the maximum relief flow?
The maximum relief flow is up to 500 L/min (ANR), depending on the set pressure.
5. Does it require regular calibration?
Regularly check the set pressure to ensure it meets application requirements. Recalibration is necessary if pressure deviations are detected.
6. What is the pressure tolerance?
The AP100-02 has a maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
7. Does it support remote monitoring or integration into automation systems?
While the AP100-02 is a mechanical valve, it can be indirectly monitored using additional sensors and controllers.
8. What about noise issues?
The smc safety valves produce some noise due to gas flow and mechanical movement during automatic air pressure valve control process. Noise can be mitigated by optimizing installation location, using sound insulation materials, or selecting low-noise models.
9. Are there other models in the AP100 series?
there are various SMC regulators models offered, such as AP100-01 and AP100-F02, with different connection types, pressure ranges, and sizes.
10. What is the maintenance cycle?
The maintenance cycle depends on usage frequency and environment. Regular inspections are recommended every 3-6 months, or more frequently in harsh conditions.
11. Are spare parts available?
SMC provides a range of spare parts for the AP100-02, including seals, adjustment nuts, and springs.
12. Does the installation direction matter?
Yes, the valve must be installed in the correct direction as indicated by the arrow on the valve to ensure proper gas flow and pressure control.
