Ordering Information
When ordering, specify:
1. Type of gas being controlled (nitrogen fuel gas,
etc.); list any factors such as impurities in the gas
that may affect compatibility of the gas with the
regulator trim parts.
2. Specic gravity of the gas
3. Temperature of the gas
4. Range of owing inlet pressures to regulator
5. Flow rates
a) Minimum controlled ow
b) Normal ow
c) Maximum ow
6. Line size and end connection size of adjacent piping.
Adjacent downstream piping must be the same
size as the regulator body or longer.
7. Vessel size
Capacity Information
Table 5 gives the typical regulating capacities at
selected inlet pressures and outlet (control) pressure
settings. Flows are in SCFH (60°F and 14.7 psia)
of 0.97 specic gravity nitrogen. For gases of other
specic gravities, multiply the given capacity of nitrogen
by 0.985 and divide the given capacity by the square
root of the appropriate specic gravity of the gas
required. Then, if capacity is desired in normal cubic
meters per hour at 0°C and 1.01325 bar, multiply
SCFH by 0.0268.
To determine wide-open ow capacities for relief
sizing, use the following formula:
