Pressure Regulator

WHAT IS A PRESSURE REGULATOR?

A pressure regulator valve is a device that controls the fluid pressure- a key component in compressed air systems. The primary function of pressure regulators is to control and maintain the pressure at a desired and safe level. The main aspect common across all these applications is pressure control – from a higher inlet pressure to a lower output pressure.

WHY ARE PRESSURE REGULATORS IMPORTANT?

These pressure-controlling devices play a pivotal role in preventing equipment damage and ensuring safety. Whether they are controlling pressure for pneumatic tools, regulating air pressure in pipelines, or safeguarding sensitive equipment, these pressure-measuring instruments prove indispensable for maintaining the seamless operation of compressed air systems.

HOW MANY TYPES ARE THERE?

There exist two types of pressure regulators:

Pressure Reducing Regulators: A control valve that lowers the high input pressure to a desired lower value to make it easier to manage. This ensures that the system works well and is safe.

Back pressure regulator: This type of valve, which is also called a back-pressure valve, keeps the pressure level on the inlet side at a certain level by only letting fluid run when the pressure level goes over the set limit.

This type of pressure gauge regulator doesn’t respond to changes in internal pressure; it only opens to keep the upstream pressure steady.
It is a normally-closed valve that may be installed in parallel with sensitive equipment or after the sensitive equipment to impede flow and maintain upstream pressure.

PRESSURE REGULATOR SUPPLIERS IN UAE

When choosing pressure regulators from pressure regulator suppliers in UAE like HASHTRON, some important factors must be considered such as inlet and outlet thresholds, the type of fluid, the working temperature range, and the material choice for regulator parts like seals.
As a whole, these different parts make up the regulator apparatus’s overall design and functioning.

Material: Brass made our suitable and economical option. Aluminum is considered a lightweight material. Stainless steel is best considered to make pressure regulators since it is corrosion-resistant.

FLUID TYPE

Evaluate the chemical properties of the fluid and see what are its characteristics to choose the suitable body and seal materials that will come in contact. These kind of factors contribute to the overall design and functionality of the regulatory apparatus.
It is also important to determine if the fluid is flammable, toxic, explosive, or hazardous.

Temperature

Pressure regulator material selection is critical. They must manage fluid and temperature effectively. Choosing an elastomer that operates across the planned temperature range is a major concern. In extreme circumstances, the operational temperature may affect spring strength or flow capacity.
