Regulators and Loop Dynamics

Overview:
This 1/2 day class teaches the principles in which regulators function, how to size/select them and how to troubleshoot these devices when delivery pressure is high, low or unstable. Applications emphasized will include: natural gas distribution, fuel train burner control, steam control and compressor seal control. Students who complete this course will be able to:

• Evaluate the difference between self-operated and pilot-operated regulators
• Evaluate the different methods of overpressure protection
• Properly size regulators and relief valves
• Troubleshoot regulator loops

* CEU not provided

Prerequisites:
None

Course Agenda:

• Self operated regs: essential elements, force balance principles, droop, boost, spring rate, sizing, internal relief, vent stack geometry, installation calibration best practices, troubleshooting, hands on take apart-rebuild
• Pilot operated regs: gain, stability, response time, design comparisons, sizing, installation calibration best practices, sense line considerations, troubleshooting, hands on-take apart-rebuild
• Overpressure protection: maximum allowable operating pressure, external relief valves, monitors, slam shuts
• Installation/calibration best practice
• Code review: NFPA86, ASME B31.1, IFGC (International Fuel Gas Code)
