Each gas supply system has specific requirements for pressure, flow and material. Benefit from the range of AP Tech products, know-how and technologies to find the optimal solution for your process.
Pressure regulators are essential for any gas installation – as experts in this field we are constantly working to increase the performance, effectiveness and safety of your process.
Whether inert, toxic, corrosive and / or high purity gases, here you will find the right regulator tailored to your needs.
The series AP and AZ (regulators, valves, vacuum generators, …) was developed for operation with a wide variety of high-purity gases in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Each product of this series is assembled and packaged under clean room conditions. Our assortment includes regulators for:
A suitable pressure regulator is essential for any gas supply, because constant and precisely adjustable pressure is as important as choosing the right gas.
SMC understands the different requirements for pressure reducers in analytical, technical, food and medical applications and offers you innovative and cost-effective solutions for your process.
Whether high purity, inert, toxic or corrosive gases, we have the right controller for your needs.
Our assortment includes regulators for:
From hydrogen fluoride to nitrogen, our diaphragm valves are always reliable! Long life, high chemical resistance and reliability make the valves ideal for critical and demanding processes.
As each process makes individual demands on the components, our range of valves is as diverse as the applications of our customers.
The AP and AZ series are designed for the semiconductor and electronics industries. Each gas component of this series is manufactured and packaged under clean room conditions.
Our offer includes models for:
From hydrogen chloride through ammonia to argon, you can always rely on our diaphragm valves!
The AK valves impress with their high chemical resistance and long service life. This makes them ideal for critical and demanding applications.
Of course, each method makes different demands on the components. That’s why our valve range is as diverse as your processes.
Our offer includes models for:
With One-touch KQG2 fittings you can connect tubes (and threads) easily and quickly. A plug connection makes it possible. Another advantage: only the outer diameter of the tube needs to be known.
The fittings are made of SUS 316 stainless steel. Besides high quality of stainless steel, the fittings are compact and lightweight. The seals are made of FKM. The product is free of grease and oil.
Applicable tubes are: FEP, PFA, Nylon, Soft Nylon, Polyurethane and Polyolefin.
A check valve is a valve that allows gas or liquid to flow in one direction only.
The AP64 defines the new standard for safety and purity. The check valve is completely welded and does not require any springs and poppets. In addition, the design has only one moving part and an O-ring seal.
High quality SS 316L VAR stainless steel double melted and FKM sealing compound (optional neoprene) for a long lasting product with a wide range of uses.
Of course, all parts in contact with the media are electropolished and passivated. Extra low roughness depths (Ra max) of 0.25µm (10µin), 0.18µm (7µin) optionally available. Connection sizes: 1/4 “face seal or ¼“ welded socket.
Suitable for use in clean rooms!
AP Tech offers four different models for vacuum generation and they all have one thing in common – they were developed for maximum efficiency and durability.
AP7 and AP70 are classic vacuum generators. The other two AP71 and AP72 are sophisticated combinations of a vacuum generator, a check valve in the nitrogen line and a valve to switch the nitrogen supply on and off as required.
These modules are a cost-effective alternative to the individual components.
Is suitable for use in a clean room!
As a specialist for ultrahigh-purity applications in semiconductor, photovoltaic and flat screen manufacturing, we have a special dead-space-free flow switch in our product range. In addition, the design was designed in such a way that the important particle-free operation is possible.
The flow switches, like all of our ultra-pure products, are made from the best SS 316L VAR double-melted stainless steel for optimal durability and an electropolished and passivated surface.
Connection sizes from 1/4 “to 1 1/2“.
Suitable for use in the clean room!

Smooth and efficient processes require reliable sensors with maximum performance.
We keep track of your manufacturing processes and make optimal and safe use of resources possible. Trust the excellent quality of our sensors for higher process control, maximum security and best productivity.
Typical product numbers:
PSE560-A2 pressure range 0-1MPa, voltage output, VCR ® compliant connection
PSE560-A2-28 pressure range 0-1MPa, current output, VCR ® compliant connection
PSE560-B2 pressure range 0-1MPa, voltage output, Swagelok ® compliant connection
PSE560-B2-28 pressure range 0-1MPa, current output, Swagelok ® compliant connection
The SF series filters are designed for use in clean rooms. All parts of the filter are assembled, checked and packed in the clean room. With the SF series you can choose between two filter elements: membrane or sintered metal. The model with membrane has a filtration of 0.01µm (99.9% efficiency). The filtration of the metal element (SFB2) is 120µm (optional: 1 – 100µm). All filters are tested in production before they are shipped.
