Information about Pressure Regulators

Pressure regulators are used to reduce the pressure to a lower pressure sub-system or to regulate system pressure at the desired value. Among the types of pressure regulators are back pressure, vacuum pressure, differential pressure, pressure-reducing and regulators for specific kinds of fluids like oil and fuel. The most important parameter to consider when specifying pressure regulators is the regulating or adjustment range. This is the limit of adjustment control on the pressure range. Common media types include air, fuel and oil, gas, hydraulic fluids, liquid, and steam.

Products & Services Related to Pressure Regulators

Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves control flow through a circular disc or vane by turning the valve's pivot axis at right angles to the direction of flow in the pipe. They are normally used as throttling valves to control flow.

Check Valves

Check valves are self-activating safety valves that permit gases and liquids to flow in only one direction, preventing process flow from reversing. They are classified as one-way directional valves.

Globe Valves

Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived. They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service.

Needle Valves

Needle valves are small valves used for flow control in liquid or gas services. The fine threading of the stem and the large seat area allow for precise resistance to flow.

Pinch Valves

Pinch valves includes any valve with a flexible elastomer body that can be pinched closed, cutting off flow, using a mechanism or fluid pressure.

Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.

Solids Valves

Solids valves are used to control or regulate the flow of powder, granular and other bulk solid materials along a process line, or to and from process units, storage bins, conveyors and product packaging.
