Types 1301F and 1301G H igh-Pressure

R egulators
The proven reliability and accurate regulation of the
Types 1301F and 1301G (see figure 1) regulators
make them ideal for numerous high pressure drop ap-
plications. They are direct operated, high-pressure
regulators designed for inlet pressures up to 6000 psig
(411 bar). The outlet pressures for the Type 1301
range from 10 to 225 psig (0.7 to 16 bar) in three sep-
arate ranges, while the Type 1301G range from 200 to
500 psig (14 to 35 bar) in one range.

These multi-purpose regulators can be used as pilot-

supply or pressure-loading regulators where high-pres-
sure operating medium must be reduced for use by
gas regulator pilots or pressure-loaded regulators.
Their rugged design offers versatility for a wide variety
of applications including air, gas, water and, other liq- W1928-2 / IL
uids. An optional spring case with a tapped vent and
TYPE 1301F SHOWN
adjusting screw closing cap is available that enables
the Type 1301F to be used as a pressure-loaded regu-
lator.

Maximum Allowable Pressure Drop for Liquid
Service
Pressure drops in excess of allowable will result in
choked flow and possible cavitation damage.
Choked flow is the formation of vapor bubbles in the liq-
uid flowstream causing a crowding condition at the vena
contracta which tends to limit flow through the regulator.
The vena contracta is the minimum cross-sectional area
of the flow stream occurring just downstream of the actu-
al physical restriction.
Cavitation and flashing are physical changes in the pro-
cess fluid. The change is from the liquid state to the vapor
state and results from the increase in fluid velocity at or
just downstream of the greatest flow restriction, normally
the regulator orifice.
To determine the maximum allowable pressure drop for
water:
∆P(allow) = Km (P1)
Where:
∆P = Valve differential — psi

Installation
Types 1301F and 1301G may be installed in any posi-
tion. Spring case vents must be protected against the
entrance of rain, snow, debris, or any other foreign
material that may plug the vent openings. The inlet
connection is marked ‘‘In’’ and the two outlet connec-
tions are marked ‘‘Out.’’ If a pressure gauge is not
installed in one outlet connection, plug the unused
connection. See figure 2 for dimensional drawing.

Optional materials are available for applications han-
dling sour gases. These constructions comply with the
recommendations of National Association of Corrosive
