Orifice place to limit pressure after regulator

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on regulating pressure in a project requiring a maximum of 60 psig. The user initially considered pressure regulators with maximum outlet ranges of 0-50 psig and 0-100 psig, ultimately opting for the 0-100 psig model. To prevent exceeding 60 psig, the user explored the use of orifice plates and received advice to consult the manufacturer for built-in pressure limiting features. The user successfully found an adjustable regulator that meets their needs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pressure regulation and its applications
  • Familiarity with pressure regulator specifications
  • Knowledge of orifice plate functionality
  • Basic principles of fluid dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research adjustable pressure regulators and their specifications
  • Learn about orifice plate design and applications
  • Investigate methods for limiting pressure in fluid systems
  • Explore fluid dynamics principles relevant to pressure regulation
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, project managers, and technicians involved in fluid system design and pressure regulation, particularly those working with pneumatic or hydraulic systems.

Hello,

I am working on a project and having an issue that I just ran into. I want the user to be able to regulate pressure from 0-60 psig max. When I start specifying the pressure regulators, found that they're sold with maximum outlet range either 0-50 psig and 0-100 psig. so I figured to get the 0-100 psig. I don't want the user to be able go above 60 psig, even with the regulator set at max (100 psi).

I was just looking at different orifice plates, but I have not used them before, so you had a similar experience, please let me know.

Thanks

Check with the manufacturer. Many regulators have methods of limiting delivery pressure within the operating range.
 
Thanks Travis_King, I will check them today and see.

Update: All set, found one that's adjustable. Thanks
