Abstract: Before we present the Fundamentals of Regulators, some appropriate definition should be given to a Pressure Regulator. We should, first of all, understand what a regulator is and the basic function or functions it performs. A regulator is defined as a device capable of maintaining gas pressure at a predetermined value, regardless of variation in flow or changes in inlet pressure. In addition, under no flow- conditions, it is sometimes called upon to act as a shut-off valve. It must stop the flow of gas and prevent build-up of pressure on the downstream side when gas is not being used. Basically a regulator is a variable resistance installed in a flowing gas stream that automatically reduces to a lower pressure by a throttling action.
