DIRECT ACTING PRESSURE REGULATOR

 SERIES DMB
DIRECT ACTING PRESSURE REGULATOR

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Series DMB is a direct acting (self-actuated spring loaded) pressure
regulators for general purpose pressure regulating applications. These
regulators are best suited for delivering constant reduced pressure of pre-
filtered, non-corrosive gases & liquids used in industrial, commercial & process
plant applications.

DMB
Direct Acting Pressure Regulator The balanced trim design with internal sensing as well as with external sensing exhibits
excellent control of downstream pressure even with very high variations in inlet pressure.

KEY FEATURES
l Balanced Trim Design : Accurately balanced trim provides lesser droop over conventional direct acting regulators resulting in high
flow capacity. This regulators can handle very high inlet pressure without affecting the accuracy of outlet pressure control.
l Internal Sensing Through Pitot Tube : Internal pressure sensing provides faster response and easy to install in the pipeline with,
savings in cost of impulse tubes, fittings. The internal sensing through pitot tube further enhance the regulators accuracy.
l Interchangeable Springs : Springs are specially designed so that those can be interchanged in the same spring casing for achieving
wider set pressure range without any modifications. Additional springs can be supplied to cover wide spring range thus giving
freedom to opt for spring range according to process requirement at site.
l Tamper Resistant : An adjusting set screw with lock nut and protective cap is standard arrangement to discourage tampering with
pressure setting.
l Easy Maintenance : Regulator internals can be inspected & maintenance work can be carried out without removing body from the
pipeline.
l Tight Shut-Off Capability : Provides excellent tight shut-off capability over long working life.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

This regulator operates on the simple principle of force balance. A downward

opening force is exerted by the actuator spring, which is balanced by the
upward force exerted by the controlled outlet pressure acting below the
diaphragm. Any drop in controlled outlet pressure due to consumption of
fluid, disturbs the force balance and due to spring force, diaphragm and stem
moves downward pushing the valve plug away from seat. This results in flow
through the valve port, which builds-up the drop in controlled pressure. Figure 2 :
