USE POINT REGULATOR
Point-of-use regulators are important equipment that works with more than one type of gas, especially in laboratories, and which work very well in environments that require independent control over these gases. In laboratories, multiple devices are usually processed on the same line and separate pressure ratios are required for all of these devices. A large number of regulators at this point make it easier to perform different operations at the same time; thus saving time and effort. On the other hand, point-of-use regulators are complementary to a healthy and safe working environment. There are 6 different types of regulator which are widely used according to the installation areas.Which Regulators should be preferred for laboratories?
Although it is preferred to have regulator groups consisting of 4 different regulators, it is possible to decrease and increase this number depending on the need. Depending on the size of the laboratories and the variety of operations, the installation areas and numbers of the regulators may also vary. The most common usage point regulators according to the installation types are:
- Wall-mounted regulator
- Wall-mounted regulator group
- Line regulator
- Vertical type regulator
- Panel mounted regulator
- Tower-mounted regulator group.
The most suitable regulator options vary depending on the size, structure and operation of the work area. Therefore, the pre-assembly discovery and control processes are the most important steps in finding the most suitable options. In line with the technical data provided by authorized engineering firms and similar intermediary institutions, as well as other laboratory equipment, ideal usage point regulator requirements can be determined.
Components Constituting Use Point Regulators
Also known as Postabaşı, brass, chrome-plated brass or stainless steel use point regulators are composed of 3 main parts. These; regulator, on - off valve and manometer. Optionally, the flame check valve can also be included in these components. Thanks to all these components, it is also possible to regulate the gas pressure in a healthy and safe way or to open and close it completely. Thus, they also benefit from the operation of the environmental equipment.
