RKI Calibration Gas Demand Flow Regulator
Description
The RKI Calibration Gas Demand Flow Regulator (part number 81-1054RK) is designed to attach directly to standard steel calibration gas canisters — compatible with 34AL, 58AL, 103L, and 116L cylinder sizes. A demand-flow regulator releases gas only when the connected monitor's inlet draws a breath, preventing waste and giving you precise control during bump tests and full calibrations.
Consistent, controlled gas flow is critical to accurate calibration. Using a regulator that matches your cylinder type and your monitor's flow requirements ensures the sensor receives the correct gas concentration — without over-pressurizing the inlet or depleting the cylinder prematurely.
This regulator is compatible with RKI calibration gas mixtures used to service GX-3R, GX-3R Pro, GX-2009, Eagle 2, and other RKI portable multi-gas monitors. It pairs with RKI's
4-gas calibration mixture cylinders available on this site.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cylinder sizes is the RKI demand flow regulator compatible with?
The 81-1054RK demand flow regulator is compatible with 34AL, 58AL, 103L, and 116L steel calibration gas cylinders. Verify your cylinder's connection type before ordering — aluminum cylinders use a C10 fitting, while steel cylinders typically use a CGA 600 connection.
How does a demand-flow regulator differ from a fixed-flow regulator?
A demand-flow regulator opens only when the connected instrument's pump draws air, releasing gas on demand. A fixed-flow regulator supplies a continuous stream at a set rate. Demand-flow regulators conserve calibration gas and are often preferred for manual bump testing, while fixed-flow regulators are common in automated calibration docking stations.
Which RKI monitors is this regulator designed to support?
The RKI Calibration Gas Demand Flow Regulator is suitable for use with RKI portable monitors including the
GX-3R, GX-3R Pro, Eagle 2, and GX-2009, among others. Always match regulator flow rate to your monitor's specification — check your instrument manual or contact PK Safety for confirmation.
How often should I replace a calibration gas regulator?
Regulators should be inspected regularly for signs of corrosion, cracks, or stiff valves, and replaced when they no longer deliver consistent flow. If your calibration results become erratic despite using known-good gas, a degraded regulator is a common cause.
