Type MR105 Direct-Operated PressureReducing Regulators

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Type MR105 regulators are versatile, high-capacity pressure reducing regulators suitable for pressures up to 400 psig and temperatures up to 250°F. They are designed for various media such as liquid, air, and gas, and comply with API 614 standards.
Specifications
The regulators come in sizes NPS 1 to 4, with maximum inlet pressures of 400 psig. Temperature capabilities depend on diaphragm material, with options including Nitrile, Fluorocarbon, and EPDM. Construction materials include steel and stainless steel.
Features
Features include a travel indicator, large flow capacity, stability, fast response, and NACE compliance for sour gas service. They offer multiple trim materials and end connection options, suitable for high-temperature applications.
Principle of Operation
The MR105 operates by adjusting the valve plug position in response to downstream pressure changes, using an actuator stem and valve spring mechanism for precise flow and pressure control.
Overpressure Protection
Overpressure protection is necessary if inlet pressure exceeds outlet pressure ratings, requiring appropriate pressure-relieving devices.
Installation
Vertical installation is recommended, with the actuator below the main valve. A control line must be installed to register outlet pressure on the actuator's diaphragm.
Applications
Applications include lube oil systems and scenarios requiring fast response and minimal differential pressure. Suitable for environments with fluid impurities.
Universal NACE Compliance
Optional constructions meet NACE MR0175-2003 and MR0103 standards for sour gas service.
Capacity Information
Capacity details are provided in tables, indicating flow and sizing coefficients for different configurations.
Ordering Information
Guides assist in selecting the appropriate regulator configuration.
Lubrication System Overview
The document describes a lubrication system with two pumps and filters, maintaining constant oil flow and pressure to equipment like turbines and compressors. It outlines normal and upset operations, highlighting the Type MR105 regulator's role in managing pressure spikes.
Normal Operation
  • Lube oil is pressurized by the main pump, passes through a filter, and is split between a backpressure regulator and a pressure reducing regulator.
  • 20% of the pump rate returns to the oil tank, while 80% is regulated for equipment lubrication.
Upset Operation
  • If the main pump fails, the auxiliary pump takes over, with the backpressure regulator managing pressure spikes.
  • High-capacity direct-operated regulators like the Type MR105 are recommended for quick response.
Type MR105 Monitor Regulator
  • Provides overpressure protection without venting to the atmosphere.
  • Involves two regulators in series; if one fails, the other maintains downstream pressure.
  • Allows easy testing by adjusting the worker regulator's outlet pressure.
Technical Specifications
  • Tables provide maximum differential pressures, flow coefficients, and construction materials.
  • Universal NACE compliance for sour gas applications is available.
  • Equations for determining gas and liquid flow capacities are included.
Construction Materials
  • Standard and optional materials are listed for various parts, complying with NACE International Sour Service Standards.
Capacity Information
  • Equations for calculating wide-open flow capacity for relief valve sizing are provided.
  • Maximum allowable pressure drops for liquids are specified to prevent choked flow and cavitation.
Performance Data
Tables provide water capacities at various pressures and droop percentages, with dimensions for different body sizes.
Specifications
Includes spring ranges, part numbers, and colors for different pressure settings, with capacities in GPM and LPM for different body sizes and droop percentages.
Dimensions
Dimensions are provided for various components, specifying measurements in inches and millimeters for different body sizes and pressure classes.
Key Information
  • Detailed performance data for different configurations of the Type MR105 valve.
  • Specific part numbers and color codes for easy identification.
  • Comprehensive data on water flow capacities under various conditions.
Ordering Information
Options for body size, actuator type, cage type, body material, and end connection style are provided. Customers can choose from materials like Cast Iron, WCC Steel, CF8M Stainless Steel, and CF3M Stainless Steel.
Actuator Type and Pressure Range
Options for low-pressure and high-pressure actuators are available, with specific pressure ranges for different body sizes.
Replacement Parts and Accessories
Optional kits for main valve and actuator replacement parts are available, with a wireless position monitor mounting kit option.
Availability and Ordering
Product availability is determined by the component with the longest shipping time, with a specification worksheet to assist in ordering.
Contact Information
Contact details for Emerson Automation Solutions are provided for various regions.
