What is a Pressure Regulator?
In land, liquid, and biogas applications, a pressure regulator is a device that reduces the gas pressure to a desired set pressure regardless of possible fluctuations in the inlet pressure.
Almost all pressure regulators of this type are self-powered and spring-operated. In larger sizes, a pilot regulator, which is integrated into the main regulator body, is often used.
Pressure regulation typically also includes safety devices required by law. There are many pressure regulators on the market that have an integrated safety shut-off and/or auxiliary safety valve in the same body.
Selecting a Pressure Regulator
When selecting a pressure regulator, the following should be taken into account:
- Minimum and maximum inlet pressures
- Design pressure of the pipeline
- Highest and lowest flow rate
- Operating medium
- Temperature ranges
- Appropriate materials
- Equipment sizing considering the above factors
Our offerings include, among others, Dresser Actaris (formerly Itron), whose manufactured regulators are used very extensively in Finland. Among these, the most commonly used in smaller sizes are the 133 and 233 series regulators, and for larger applications, the RB 1700/1800, RB4000, RB4700 series as well as the RR16 series.
In addition to Dresser regulators, our selection also includes many other pressure regulators from various manufacturers, so that we can meet customer needs as well as possible.
We help you choose a pressure regulator that meets the requirements of your application. Ask our contact persons for more information.
