Gas Regulator Fundamentals and Applications

A regulator is a device that controls or decreases gas pressure through a mechanism that decreases or increases the gas flow rate. It works by using a regulating element like a valve or expansible sleeve, a sensing element like a diaphragm or bourden tube, and a loading element like a spring or diaphragm. Regulators are used to control gas pressure at locations like sales meter stations, town border stations, district regulating stations, and consumer meter stations.

Pressure Control
GAS REGULATOR
A DEVICE USED TO CONTROL OR
DECREASE THE PRESSURE IN GAS FLOW

DEFINITION: -
A regulator is defined as a mechanism for controlling or governing the moment of machin
es, the flow of liquids and
gases. It is often referred to as control valve, governor,
pressure reducer.
WORKING PRINCIPLE

IT CONTROLS THE PRESSURE BY


DECREASING OR INCREASING THE GAS FLOW RATE
APPLICATIONS
GAS REGULATORS ARE USED TO CONTR
OL / DECREASE THE GAS PRESSURE AT:

• SALES METER STATIONS (SMS’s)


• TOWN BORDER STATIONS (TBS’s)
• DISTRICT REGULATING STATIONS (DRS’s)
• CONSUMER METER STATIONS (CMS’s)
BASIC ELEMENTS OF REGULATORS

• REGULATING ELEMENT
(VALVE OR EXPANSIBLE SLEEVE)

• SENSING ELEMENT
(DIAPHRAGM OR BOURDEN TUBE)

• LOADING ELEMENT
(SPRING OR DIAPHGRAM)
