Cutting costs using self-operated regulators - Wolfgang Hesse - At the beginning of the last century, the first self-operated regulators were used for simple control tasks which marked the beginning of process automation. Nowadays, many of us are not aware of the advantages, the design, the principle of operation as well as the limits of this type of technology. In this paper, Samson’s Mr Wolfgang Hesse outlines how cost effective self-operated regulators can be. This is a zipped file thanks to ICEweb sponsor Samson Controls .
Introduction to Self-operated Regulators - Self-operated regulators take over all the tasks required in a control loop. They integrate measuring sensor, controller as well as control element all in one system (Fig. 2). The combination of these components results in very rugged and reasonably priced devices - Thanks to ICEweb sponsor Samson Controls .
Introduction to Regulators - This comprehensive Technical Reference guide includes articles covering regulator theory, sizing, selection, overpressure protection, and other topics relating to regulators. This section begins with the basic theory of a regulator and ends with conversion tables and other informative charts. Thanks to ICEweb sponsor Emerson Process Management.
Tank Blanketing Valve - Tank Blanketing Valves are self-contained, fully balanced, pilot-operated and are used for accurate pressure control on tank blanketing systems. These valves help control emissions and provide protection against atmospheric contamination. The valves maintain a positive tank pressure which reduces the possibility of tank wall collapse during pump out operations, prevents stored product from vaporizing to atmosphere.Thanks to ICEweb sponsor Emerson
Fundamental Principles of Pilot Operated Regulators - Steve Berry - For all practical purposes, regulators, used by the gas distribution industry can be placed in either of two categories: Self-Operated or Pilot-Operated. this paper examines them both.

Pressure Regulators Simplicity May Suffice - Seeking a good, economical alternative to control valves? Pressure regulators may be the right choice - Pressure regulators are very simple control devices, taking necessary operating energy from the process. In contrast, control valves require transmitters, controllers, and external energy sources.- From Dave Harrold and Control Engineering.
Combating Droop in Self-Contained Pressure Regulators - Tim Gainer - When qualifying valves for any pressure reduction application, there are several factors to consider. Initially, you must decide whether the application requires a control valve in order to be effective, or would a self-contained or piloted regulator be sufficient? from Jordanvalve.com
The following papers are from CEESI, whilst they are older
they still address the fundamentals
Operation
and Maintenance of Regulators - Jim Massey - the
operation and maintenance of regulators is extremely important because a gas
regulator is the most critcal mechanism for controlling the movement or ther
flow of gas.
Fundamental
Principles of Self Operated Regulators - James Thomson - This paper
discusses the basic purpose of regulators, what affects their performance,
things to consider when sizing a regulator and capacity calculations for safety
devices.
Causes
and Cures of Regulator Instability -
William H. Eamey - This paper addresses the gas pressure reducing regulator
installation and the issue of erratic control of the downstream pressure. A gas
pressure reducing regulator’s job is to manipulate flow in order to control
pressure. When downstream pressure is not properly controlled the terra unstable
control is applied.
Gas
Service Regulators Installation, Selection, And Operation -
Robert McCaslin - Of the many varieties of gas
pressure regulators the service regulator is one of the most basic and widely
used types. They are typically found on residences, small businesses, and
apartments. They are often the final stage of pressure reduction before
residential meters, and they typically reduce pounds per square inch inlet
pressure to inches water column pressure.
Fundamental
Principles Of Pilot-Operated Regulators -
Brent E. Sayer - A regulator is a mechanism for controlling or governing the
movement of machines or the flow of liquids and gases, in order to meet a
standard.
High
Pressure Regulators - Brent E. Sayer - A regulator may be described as a
"mechanism for controlling or governing the movement of machines or the
flow of liquids and gases, in order to meet a standard." The primary
function of a gas or liquid regulator is to match the supply of the fluid moving
through it to the demand for the fluid downstream. To accompli sh thi s, the
regulator continuously measures the downstream pressure and makes adjustments
accordingly.
