How To Select Fairchild Pressure Regulators

By Gloria Mason


It is always essential to ensure that pressure is carefully regulated and its speed of flow is well maintained at a balanced level. Fairchild pressure regulators are carefully designed for this purpose. They can be found in various models depending on the type of task that they are required to perform.

For general precision this open-close device uses an accurate process control, the models 10 and 81 are the most suitable. However, for high precision in a smaller package, then the 30 and 80 models are the most appropriate. These regulators have poppet valves which are balanced by using a rolling diaphragm. They function by ensuring the supply of constant output even when there are variations in the continuous physical force.

To aid in maintaining a low continuous force level, an aspiration tube within the regulator is used. This tube aids in maintaining the force at the required levels as it also regulates the supply of air. Low continuous physical force regulators can also be applied to help in achieving a high precision.

Back open-close devices or valves are another type of regulators. They work arguably well in controlling back force also referred to as relief pressure. The 10BP model regulator is a high capacity regulator which functions to relieve excessive force within a pneumatic system. Just like the 30BP model, it provides high precision, is designed for tough applications and considered as an excellent option for a variety of precision applications. It also provides great accuracy than relief valves do over a narrow range of pressure.

The other one is the Fairchild 16 Vacuum regulator. This is specifically designed for systems that need continuous force from the control which is above or below the atmospheric force. All applications of full vacuum are well handled by the Models 17 and 18 Vacuum regulators, Model 16 handle slow continuous physical force and lighter vacuum.

The 16 model of regulator contains a water column of half inch which helps in its control of sensitivity, therefore permitting it to function well in precision applications. The effects the variations are greatly reduced by the valves that are well supplied within its system. There being a constant balance in the forces above and below its diaphragm, there is proper maintenance of the output.

A miniature regulator, the Fairchild 50, is a light and compact unit which can handle a high increase in force and provide high accuracy in precision control. Under flowing conditions, the Venturi design relieves downstream pressure droop. It is constructed using polymer to aid in preventing corrosion. It is widely applied in medical, lightweight or tough applications.

An essential and critical factor is the provision of a proper system of increased flow as well as filtration. For this type of functionality, a specialty force regulator called the Fairchild 63 model is the most suitable due to the fact that it can stand tough conditions. Made from a non-brass material, it is corrosive - resistant. In addition to other specialty models, they are applicable for actuation and automation. In a nutshell, Fairchild pressure regulators are very essential in maintaining a level of balance of velocity and hence enabling the pressure to flow steadily.
