HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR
The Model 1000HP is the most versatile, self contained high pressure regulator available today. Its unique internal design and straight through flow path isolate the diaphragm from fluid velocity effects and increase capacity and stability at both high or low flow rates. Flow to open design and extended guiding allow high pressure drops to 650 psid. It can be used in severe service and cryogenic applications that normal pressure reducing regulators cannot handle. Four body materials and fourteen trim material selections provide compatibility with many fluids—including saturated and superheated steam, industrial gases, fuel oils, compressed air, sour gas, chemical, and other process fluid services.
The design takes advantage of all the features of the basic 1000HP reducing high pressure regulator. The availability of optional construction and body and trim materials is limited to those indicated herein. The straight-thru flow path inherent in the 1000HP design allows for higher capacity. The streamlined path also reduces wear and maintenance for the flashing or cavitating conditions frequently associated with cryogenic service.
A special variation of the basic Model 1000HP high pressure reducing regulator enables the Model 1000HP-SF to contain high inlet pressures up to 2600 psig (179.3 Barg) SWP, while controlling downstream pressures between 100 and 300 psig (6.9 and 20.7 Barg). Available in sizes 1/2", 3/4" and 1" (DN10, 20 and 25) with NPT connections. It is primarily used as a high pressure regulator for saturated steam systems.
The Model 345 is a piston style, heavy duty, high pressure regulator that reduces pressure and can include balanced trim with a TFE or nylon seat for controlling downstream pressure between 50 and 3000 psig (3.4 and 207 Barg), with inlet pressures up to 4000 psig (275 Barg). The metal seated version is an unbalanced trim design. Where trim wear is expected, metal seating surfaces may be stellited. Sizes 1/2", 3/4" and 1" (DN15, 20, and 25). Available options include flanged end connections.
Always sense pressure where you want to control it. Many control valves and high pressure regulators do not function properly simply because they are sensing pressure at one point a nd being asked to control it somewhere else.
