Pressure Regulator Parts

Pressure-reducing regulators control outlet pressure by balancing an adjustable spring force against the forces caused by inlet and outlet pressures. The spring force is adjusted by turning the stem/handle, which sets the desired outlet pressure.

As inlet pressure decreases, the force balance changes. To compensate, outlet pressure will increase. This supplypressure effect (SPE) is a function of the design and type of regulator. If a regulator is subjected to fluctuating inlet pressure, and outlet pressure variations are not desirable, a two-stage regulator is available.
