RP/10 Regulators
Type RP/10 Pressure Loaded Regulators
RP/10 regulators are pneumatic-loaded and feature counterbalanced valve.
The RP/10 regulators are normally employed in pressure reducing stations using high pressure gas compressed in
cylinders.
They can also be employed with middle pressure gas in ceramic, chemical, and pharmaceutical factories for small
furnaces.
The main features are as follows:
• Counterbalanced Shutter
• Built-in Relief Valves
Operation
The stem S is controlled by the diaphragm unit M on the opposite surfaces of which are balanced in one side the
downstream pressure and on the other side the setting static pressure.
The causes that can intervene to modify this state of balance are:
1. increase of the request of gas
2. reduction of the request of gas
3. increase of the inlet pressure
4. reduction of the inlet pressure
An Increase of the request of gas causes a
reduction of the downstream pressure in the
chamber C1.
The difference of pressure which is thus formed C
between the chambers C and C1 operating on M
the diaphragm unit M causes the opening of the
shutter O until the balance of the setting and
downstream pressure is obtained again. C1
S
In the case 2 a reduction of the request of gas
causes an increase of the downstream pressure.
The downstream pressure prevailing on the
setting pressure causes a rising of the diaphragm
unit M and therefore of the shutter O.
O
The reduction of useful section for the passage
which is the consequence of this, reduces the
downstream pressure to its initial value.
The cases 3 and 4 are similar to the previous
ones because, to the effects of the operation,
an Increase or a reduction of the absorption
correspond respectively to a reduction or to an
increase of the inlet pressure. Inlet Pressure Downstream Pressure Setting Pressure
