1 PRESSURE REGULATOR AND VALVE SELECTION GUIDE Technical Bulletin #8G Scope: This document is a reference guide to help customers determine an appropriate AP Tech valve and regulator to be used in process gas systems. For information and specifications related to the specific model, please refer to the catalog data sheet. Valve and Recommendations for Gas Cabinets and Gas 8 Technology Way. Napa, CA 948. ( Fax (

2 General Notes and Definitions : Pressure regulator closest to the gas source cylinder or vessel (first regulator in the system Valve: upstream (inlet side of the source regulator : Any regulator downstream (outlet side of the source regulator Valve: Any valve downstream (outlet side of the source regulator Valve Recommendation: Valve model recommendations limited for sake of brevity. Different models with same basic size and rating may also be used. Example: 0, and may be used in place of. /: Two stage regulation required, two regulators in series GENERAL NOTES : Red indicates heating required, refer to PN Conditions: Standard conditions of temperature and pressure Inlet Pressure Assumption: psig ( bar or vapor pressure of liquified gas 0 psig ( bar unless low vapor pressure gas pressure for non-liquified gas assumed at worst case for an empty cylinder assumed to be typical usage, specific operating conditions may require different selection Caution: Read and understand definitions prior to utilizing the guide s recommendations. Caution: Product selection is the sole responsibility of the user, regardless of any recommendations or suggestions made by the factory, such as this Technical Bulletin. The user shall make selections based upon their own analysis and testing with regard to function, material compatibility and product ratings. Proper installation, operation and maintenance are also required to assure safe, trouble free performance. Caution: One may achieve higher or lower flow capacities than stipulated in this guide due to the parameters and conditions of a specific application and system design. Caution: Please consult the factory for recommendations beyond the scope of this document or if any doubt exists.
