Pressure Regulation

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®.

Regulator Features - 1/2" thru 2" sizes
• 125 psi @ 75°F inlet pressure    • Regulates and stabilizes downstream pressure   • PVC valves for applications to 140°F   • Polypropylene valves for applications to180°F   • Adjustable from 5 - 75 psi for 1/2", 5 - 70 psi for 3/4" through 2" sizes
Relief Valve Features - 1/2" size only
• 125 psi @ 75°F inlet pressure   • Relieves excess line pressure

Liquid-filled gauges are recommended for use in applications which are subject to pulsating pressures or mechanical vibrations. Stainless steel gauges are suited for applications where conditions such as corrosive fluids, or environments with pulsations or vibrations, are present.

The Penguin plastic gauge guard is a unique, compact, molded design consisting of two threaded fluid chambers. There is no possibility of leakage due to uneven screwed components. Each piece contains a matching groove which confines the true o-ring incorporated on the OD of the impermeable diaphragm. A bleed plug and o-ring are included in the design for proper filling or the incompressible liquid in the gauge side chamber. This prevents air entrapment, thus providing an accurate reading with no needle vibrations.

Features
• Choice of materials CPVC, PVDF or Polypropylene   • Impermeable and resilient Viton diaphragm   • 1/4" FPT instrument (gauge) connection   • 1/2" FPT bottom system connection   • No metallic fasteners to corrode

Advantages of Plast-O-Matic Gauge Guards
• Inexpensive initial investment   • Reduces instrument failures   • Reduces system down time   • Eliminates special alloy instruments   • Maximum chemical / temperature compatibility

* “T” in model number refers to PTFE diaphragm, FKM available, change “T” to “V”, prices are the same.

Plast-O-Matic Chemical Gauge Guards should be utilized to isolate and protect pressure or vacuum instruments used on ultra-pure or highly corrosive fluid lines. Utilization of Plast-O-Matic gauge guards offers the added advantage of protection against clogging of instruments caused by suspended solids or highly viscous fluids. Gauge Guards are available with or without gauges.
