What is a Pressure Regulator and How to Choose One Pressure regulators play a crucial role in many industrial fluid and instrumentation systems, helping to maintain or control desired pressure and flow in response to system changes. It is important to select the right regulator to keep the system o...

Choosing a Regulator Pressure regulators play a crucial role in many industrial fluid and instrumentation systems, helping to maintain or control desired pressure andflow in response to system changes. For these reasons, it is important to select and install pressure regulators that can meet the sp...

How to Manage Supply Pressure Effect (SPE) in Pressure-Reducing Regulators Used in Industrial Gas Systems Wouter Pronk, Senior Field Engineer, Swagelok Fluid system operators running a process line from a gas cylinder source may occasionally observe the phenomenon of outlet pressure increasing in ...

High-Performance Hydrogen Valves: What to Look for When Making a Selection Chuck Hayes, Principal Applications Engineer for Clean Energy, Swagelok Hydrogen fuel is growing quickly as a mobility solution. It has proven itself safe, cost-effective, practical, and sustainable. In short: it’s the idea...

For-Purpose Design: Ocean Edge Services Employs Decades of Field Experience to Develop HPUs for Offshore Applications It all started with a vision. Santiago “Chili” Gomez spent decades working on large subsea offshore oil and gas drilling projects, learning the nuances of the complex processes. Whe...

How to Flatten a Regulator Flow Curve to Reduce Droop Jon Kestner Consistent pressure control is essential to the safe operation of industrial fluid systems. Maintaining a reliable downstream pressure with a regulator can help minimize flow rate changes, especially in a high-flow system. However, ...

Back-Pressure Regulator Set Up for Sampling Systems: Engineer Guidance David Rodriguez, Product Manager Back-pressure regulators play an important role in maintaining inlet pressure (upstream pressure) and protecting sensitive equipment in sampling systems used in many industrial facilities. To ma...

How to Improve Fluid System Performance Cory Cottrill, Product Manager, Field Services In busy plants and factories, fluid system performance can sometimes take a back seat to other priorities. However, without proper care, problems can develop quickly. The key to protecting operations and maintai...

Four Qualities to Look for in Fittings for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Chuck Hayes, Global Technical Lead, Swagelok One of the most formidable challenges in the development of safe, reliable, and leak-tight hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and infrastructure is the nature of hydrogen itself. Hydroge...

Fluid System Filters Explained: Why They’re Critical for Reliable Operations Contaminants can wreak havoc on industrial fluid systems. Unwanted particles can damage critical components, interfere with accurate sampling and analyzing, throw products off-spec, and cause other downstream problems. ...
