Pressure Regulator

Filterchem Pressure Regulators sense downstream pressure in fluid lines and open or close to maintain a selected downstream pressure. These valves are used to protect equipment and filters from excessive line pressures. These valves are adjustable from a range of 5 to 70 psi (5 to 75 psi for 1/2" size). Filterchem Pressure Relief Valves protect equipment from excess pressures by opening up at a selected pressure and relieving liquid line pressure back to a holding tank or drain. These valves are adjustable from 10 to 80 psi. Filterchem Pressure Regulators and Relief Valves are of molded construction of Type 1 PVC, with Viton® o-rings and PVDF-coated springs. Regulators are also available in polypropylene, and the pressure relief valve is also available in PVDF Kynar®.

Plast-O-Matic Series PRHM pressure regulators are designed to handle corrosive and ultra-pure liquids with inlet pressures up to 150 psi at 75°F. The standard downstream set pressure range is 5 to 125 psi; however, with special springs it can reach 75 psi. The design incorporates a poppet seat at the valve orifice to prevent sticking and double U-cup seals on the internal shaft to prevent inlet pressure from affecting the sensing of the downstream pressure. Also, the one-piece body construction eliminates internal leakage that could cause the set pressure to creep beyond a safe limit. A unique rolling diaphragm seal isolates the spring chamber from the downstream liquid. This unique design, in conjunction with a pressure balanced shaft, assures smooth and stable control. Series PRHM pressure regulators prevent downstream pressure from exceeding the desired set pressure. The regulator will remain closed as long as the set pressure is maintained. As equipment or valves downstream of the regulator begin to open and demand flow, the downstream pressure begins to fall and the regulator opens. It continues to open further as more flow is needed until its maximum opening is reached. When the downstream pressure again reaches the set pressure, the regulator closes. Series PR pressure regulators are available in PVC, Polypropylene, PTFE and PVDF. Seals can be EPDM or FKM. For Series PRHM, inlet and outlet connections are NPT female threads.

Advantages of Plast-O-Matic PRHM Regulators
