Introduction to Regulators
Regulators Technical Seminar Overview
Pressure Regulators typically exhibit several common characteristics that are not dependent on a particular type, make, or manufacturer of regulators.
The instructors introduce characteristics that are common across the industry:
- Droop (or Flow Effect)
- Creep
- Accumulation
- Choked-Flow
- Lock-up (Seat-Load Drop)
- Joule-Thomson
- Optimal Flow
- SPE-Supply Pressure Effect
- Relate function and performance characteristics
- Sizing of regulators and utilizing flow charts (Basic)
Upon completion, you should be able to:
- Explain the difference between a valve and regulator
- Understand regulator terminology
- Differentiate components within a regulator
- Recognize performance attributes of a regulator
- Relate performance characteristics to the importance of good selection and design
- Consider venting and proportional relief valves to enhance safety for certain systems
