State-owned Indian Oil Corp (IOC) today said it has launched multi-function regulators for domestic cooking gas cylinders in the national capital. "The multi-functional domestic presser regulator has numerous safety features like leak detection, child lock, gas level indicator and excess flow shut-off feature," the company said in a press statement here.


"The safety features of the regulator will be very helpful in making kitchens safe and convenient," it said. The multi-functional LPG regulator, developed by
international certifying agency TUV, was launched by IOC General Manager Amresh Kapoor.
The excess flow valve in the new regulator is designed to completely shut off the flow of LPG in case of a tube failure or leakage in the tube. It also detects leaks in the tube and has an analog display and an alarm system to indicate the quantity of LPG in the cylinder.
In addition, it has a child lock mechanism that will restrict knob movement. IOC said the regulator is available in two models, featuring an analog or electronic display.
