Regulator Flow Curve
Regulator Flow Curve
Please Note
The flow chart will not show the lock-up pressure for a given application. However, lock-up is factory tested to be not more than 10% of the maximum control pressure of a regulator configuration. This should be factored into the performance of a given regulator within the desired application. To learn more about regulator performance, please see the Swagelok Pressure-Reducing Regulator Flow Curves Technical Bulletin (MS-06-114). To learn more about each regulator series, please see the Swagelok Pressure Regulators, RHPS Series catalogue (MS-02-430).
Disclaimer
The regulator flow curves in this report were created from equations that use Swagelok product specifications, conventional fluid properties, and fundamental fluid dynamics to approximate product performance. These calculations were performed to consider a specific set of conditions and should not be considered valid outside those conditions. The information is intended to help with regulator selection but cannot duplicate the variety of actual operating conditions.
Safe Product Selection
When selecting a product, the total system design must be considered to ensure safe, trouble-free performance. Function, material compatibility, adequate ratings, proper installation, operation, and maintenance are the responsibilities of the system designer and user.
