Gas Regulator Types Training

This training examines the regulator types and designs used in AP Tech products. Detailed free-poppet and tied-diaphragm design and suggested use is explained. When to use two-stage regulators and two stage pressure regulation systems is reviewed. Mini-regulators are examined. Discuss sub-atmospheric regulator design and use. Review advantages and disadvantages to diaphragm, bellows and piston sensing elements. Explain differences between self-relieving and non-relieving designs and suggested use. At the end of training, the user will be able to understand the differences between tied diaphragm and free poppet regulators, sub-atmospheric and dual stage regulators and the advantages and trade offs of use.
