Pressure Reducing Balanced

Pressure Reducing Regulators control pressure downstream of the valve. The balanced feature greatly reduces the effect of varying upstream pressure. These regulators are commonly used as suction control valves on compressors.

These valves are classified as intermittent venting (non-bleed), and meet most producer's emissions standards.

How Does an Outside Supply Regulator Work? A Step-by-Step Animation

One of the ways energy producers are creating emissions-free operation is by using compressed air as the source of outside supply for control devices. The back pressure regulator with outside supply, or BPOS, and the pressure reducing regulator with outside supply, PROS, can be purchased new or conv...

Product Notice | Standardizing 2672 Bonnet on Steel Regulators

This product notice is to inform you that all steel regulators and some pilots are being standardized to use a 2672 bonnet, replacing the 2671. We have found that this is more advantageous to our customers to have a threaded port included on the bonnet because many companies are utilizing different ...

How Do Non-Vent Back Pressure Regulators & Non-Vent Pressure Reducing Regulators Work in Oil & Gas Production?

One of the ways energy producers are reducing their emissions footprint is by converting their gas regulators to non-vent. In this video, we show you an animation of what’s actually going on inside both the back pressure and pressure reducing non-vent regulators. How Does a NON-VENT Back Pressure ...
