A. General information

AP Tech pressure regulators are used in gas delivery systems to reduce the source pressure to a

lower delivery (outlet) pressure. This operation manual is applicable to gas pressure regulators that

use a piston to sense the delivery pressure.

Refer to the appropriate catalog data sheet for specific product information. For special options that

are not shown in the data sheet, contact the factory or your local representative for questions on

proper operation.

B. System Design/Product Selection

1. AP Tech piston sensed gas pressure regulators are not safety accessories per EU Pressure

Equipment Directive 97/23/EC or safety related devices per EU ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. The

EU Pressure Equipment Directive requires the system designer to install a safety accessory (for

example, safety relief valve or burst disc) where the design pressure of the downstream system is

lower than the upstream pressure.

2. When selecting the pressure regulator model and configuration, verify the following information.

a. Verify the materials of construction are compatible with the intended process gas.

b. Verify the pressure and temperature ratings are acceptable for the intended application.

c. If the regulator is to be equipped with either a supply or delivery pressure gauge, verify that

the pressure gauge range is suitable for the application.

d. Verify that the flow capability of the regulator is appropriate for the application.

3. KT10, Welded KT10, and KT12 regulators must be ordered with the non-relieving (non-venting)

option if the process gas they are to be used with is hazardous (flammable, toxic, etc.). The

self-relieving (venting) option on these models vents process gas through the regulator cap

directly into the atmosphere surrounding the regulator, which is undesireable with a hazardous

gas.

4. Pressure regulators can be used under a large variety of operation conditions. The system

designers shall decide product selection based upon their own analysis and testing to verify

acceptable operation with specific equipment.

C. Installation

1. Verify the pressure rating is acceptable for the intended application.

2. If the regulator is equipped with either a supply or delivery pressure gauge, verify that the

pressure gauge range is suitable for the application.
