Pressure Regulators
Pressure regulators are used to maintain a constant outlet pressure or flow.
Hydraulic Regulators
Hydraulic regulators maintain the output pressure at a set value.
Gas Pressure Regulators
Gas pressure regulators reduce the pressure of a gas, as it passes through a cylinder or process line, to another piece of equipment. Regulators are not flow control devices. They are used to control delivery pressure only.
