Understanding pressure regulator performance is critical to successfully designing, installing and operating an effective fluid system. This webinar will focus on the core aspects of pressure regulator performance: lock-up, droop and choked flow. In discussing these topics, we will also cover the operating theory of regulators in order to better understand what drives these key performance characteristics.

Webinar Topics

• Types of pressure regulators and basic operation
• Balance of forces
• Control, loading and sensing elements dictating regulator behavior 
• Droop
• Choked Flow
• Supply Pressure Effect
• Flow Curves
