Type 310A-32A Pressure Reducing Regulator - 1

Type 310A-32A Pressure Reducing Regulator Figure 1. Type 310A Regulator with Type 32A Pilot Introduction The Type 310A pilot-operated high-pressure regulator (Figure 1) is used where high capacity and accurate control are essential. This regulator includes one Type 32A pilot assembly mounted on the main valve for pressure reducing or wide-open monitoring applications or two Type 32A pilots mounted on the main valve for working monitor applications. High Capacity—Straight-through flow passage allows exceptionally high capacities and stable operation. Fast Speed of Response—Designed to meet stringent speed of response requirements for turbine startup and fuel gas applications. Accurate Control—Molded pilot diaphragms provide a narrow proportional band and registration of outlet pressure on the main diaphragm allows excellent control sensitivity. Tight Shutoff—Throttling-sleeve design with Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seat in the body ensures positive shutoff. Reduced Relief Requirements—Optional restricted trim helps reduce relief valve size requirements; the regulator is easily converted to full capacity by changing the trim, if flow conditions increase. Minimum Installation Space Required—Since main valve design incorporates actuator spring, less installation space is needed for the Type 310A than for other regulators of com

Type 310A-32A Pressure Reducing Regulator - 4

Type 310A The top diaphragm in the pilot acts as a sealing member for the loading chamber and as a balancing member to the bottom diaphragm. The two diaphragms are connected by a yoke. Pressure change to the center chamber has little effect on the positioning of the valve disk. Wide-Open Monitors (Figure 3) Monitoring regulators serve as overpressure protection devices to limit system pressure in the event of failure of working regulators feeding the system. The control line of a wide-open monitoring regulator may be connected downstream of the working regulator, so that during normal...
