Introduction
The 160 AP DIVAL Pressure Regulators are
spring action devices with diaphragm control
suitable for medium and high pressures. They
allow a constant downstream pressure to be
obtained for any upstream pressure value
and/or flow demand.
The particular features of this regulator are:
~ high cg flow coefficient;
- high setting accuracy;
- positive shutoff;
- minimum overpressure at closure;
- fast response;
- compact size and light weight construction;
- top entry cartridge construction permits
maintenance without disaligning body from
pipe;
- optional built-in overpressure shutoff valve.

Description of Regulator Operation (sce fig. 1)
The 160 AP DIVAL regulator is a spring operated device with downstream
pressure control by means of an external impulse A. The downstream
pressure is controlled by means of a comparison between the load of
pring B and the thrust from the downstream pressure on the
diaphragm Cc. .
This comparison, is influenced by the weight of the mobile assembly,
the thrust deriving from the spring G and the residual thrust on
the plug. The motion of the diaphragm C is transmitted by the
lever system D to the stem & and then to the plug F. The spring G is
designed to eliminate all the inevitable clearance in the lever
system D. The rubber seal H is vulcanized onto the plug and is
designed to ensure hermetic closure when the demand is zero. If
during operation, for example, the thrust from the downstream
pressure is less than the load of the spring B, the diaphragm C is
lowered, thereby pulling the plug F away from the valve seat K until
the preset downstream pressure is reached again.
The opposite occurs when the downstream pressure exceeds the setting.
Two limit stops V are provided to eliminate potential damage from
accidental over or under pressure below the diaphragm C and from
overloading the spring B. The constructive solution employed for the
connection of the main diaphragm Cand the stem E allows the
protection of the rubber seal H against damages deriving from anomalous
excesses of the downstream pressure, Infact, with the regulator in
closing position, this solution also allows the diaphragm C to lean
on the superior limit stops v, limiting the load on the rubber
material of the seal H and the spring M.

Slam shut device SB 87 (L - see fig. 1)
The SB 87 type shutoff device (SAV) comprises essential-
ly a plug N fitted on the stem I, a lever assembly L for
re-engagement of the control head Q ( which senses the
controlled pressure signals) and reset system actioned
manually by means of the knob P. An internal by-pass J
balances the pressure from one side to the other side
of the plug N in order to ease the manual reset; this
by-pass can only be manually operated while its
disconnection is completely automatic. The controlled
pressure acts on the diaphragm of the control head Qi
this diaphragm and its plate are fixed to the stem R and
receive the counterthrust of the minimum spring S and/or
maximum spring T, set at the desired values.
Motion of the diaphragm because of defective equilibrium
due to variations of the controlled pressure beyond the
range admitted also causes the movement of the stem R
which releases the stem I; in this way, the plug N is
released and brought into the shutoff position by the
spring U.

Choice of the regulator
The choice of a pressure regulator is normally carried
out by the employment of the Cg valve coefficient or Kg
flow coefficient. The calculation method is reported in
the catalogue CT 174 detailing the DIVAL regulators for
medium and low pressures.
Instructions for ordering
When ordering regulators use the following descriptions;
for ordering spare parts always report the serial
number:
- Example: Dival 160 AP with flanges DN 25 ANSI 600 for
inlet pressure 10-50 bar, outlet pressure 2 bar and
flow rate 300 Stmc/h of natural gas:
Dival 160 AP: DN 25 ANSI 600 P1=10-50 bar
P2=2 bar 00 Stme/h natural gas
- Example: built-in slam shutoff for DIVAL 160 AP for
increasing pressure up to 4 bar.
SB 87 max - mod. 103. ~ 4 bar.
As above, but for increasing/decreasing over /under
4/1,5 bar
SB 87 max/min - mod. 103 - 4/1,5 bar.Pietro or are
