I received this pressure regulator as a gift, and I need some help with identification. I believe that it is from the space shuttle program and used based on the red scrap paint. Was it used on the shuttle or GSE? If shuttle, where? The markings on it are:
PRESSURE REGULATOR
ME284-0259-0103
TESCOM CORP.
S/N L58217
10000 PSI
3600 PSI
U.S.A.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as always Thank you.

I am going to vote GSE, and not necessarily restricted to Shuttle.

I have a spec document for a 3-way valve, ME284-8111. The operating environment is definitely GSE, and the document is dated 1964.

Granted, the only similarity is the ME284 number. But with nothing else to go on that's my guess.

All times are CT (US)
