Live at 10am: Pressure Regulator Webinar

Written by Jeff Hopkins | 1/17/13 3:00 PM

Swagelok® field engineer Eric Kayla returns today with a live session on how to match the pressure reducing regulator to the job.


Finding the right size regulator means much more than whether the end connections fit. It's really about determining how much flow can pass through a specific model of regulator while maintaining the desired outlet pressure under changing system pressure and flow conditions. Swagelok field engineer Eric Kayla will show how to properly select and size a pressure reducing regulator today in a live session.

If you saw our October webinar on the basics of pressure reducing regulators, you'll remember Kayla as Swagelok's roaming expert. He spends about half of his time on the road each year visiting customers in the western portions of the United States, Canada and Mexico. For the webinar, he'll be live today via WebEx at 10 a.m. As before, expect a presentation of about 40 minutes, plus time for you to ask questions afterward.

Added bonus

We have a bonus for you, too. Those who register for this webinar will get our publication, "Pressure Reducing Regulators: A Guide to Finding the Right Fit."  We will email it to you a few days after the webinar along with the link to the webinar presentation slide deck. 

Join us today at 10am for live pressure regulator training

Kayla is prepped and ready to go.  Today's webinar agenda:

  • Review pressure reducing regulator balance of forces
  • Discuss important selection considerations
  • Diaphragm vs. piston sensing elements
  • Sensitivity and resolution
  • Port configurations and venting options
  • When sizing a regulator, why not use Cv?
  • How to read a pressure reducing regulator flow curve
  • How to use a flow curve to size a pressure reducing regulator 
  • How to size a pressure reducing regulator for different types of media and temperatures
  • Using an application he encountered in the field, Kayla will demonstrate how to select and size a pressure reducing regulator
