Swagelok Replay: Watch Our Webinar On Back Pressure Regulators

If you weren't able to participate live, here's the next best way to explore the topic 

We always know we'll get a good turnout when Swagelok field engineer Eric Kayla comes by to talk about regulators. He presented a webinar on back pressure regulators. For those who weren't able to view the webinar live, and those who saw it live and want to get a refresher, we've put the entire 25-minute presentation online. It has been a very popular webinar replay with over 4,300 views in the last 11 months. 

Kayla details the components that can be found within a back pressure regulator, and how they perform their jobs. In the replay, you'll see the different types of sensing elements, types of seats and types of loading elements. Swagelok offers nearly a dozen models with various combinations of those elements, for both general purpose and special applications.

Kayla also details important similarities and differences between back pressure regulators and relief valves, and he shares a few real life applications where back pressure regulators are used. 

Any questions?

Just after the 17-minute mark, you'll see one of the big advantages for those who were participating live. That's where the audience got the chance to ask questions. For instance, why would someone select a back pressure regulator that is both spring-loaded and dome-loaded, rather than one or the other? Do you know the most common failure in a back pressure regulator? And if the design of a relief valve is so similar to a back pressure regulator, why isn't the relief valve as sensitive?
