Introduction
The pressure regulators included in the RTG 320 range are direct acting regulators with
balanced valve. Their operation is based on the balance between the force exerted by the
regulated pressure and the force of the adjustment spring. They are used for reducing and
regulating the pressure of LPG and natural gas, ensuring a constant value of the outlet
pressure, within the limits of the regulation class.

Advantages of RTG 320 direct acting pressure regulators

precise and constant operation even if the inlet pressure fluctuates significantly, external
sensing line and silencer valve provided;

easy regulation of outlet pressure value;

easy change of the setting range, if desired;

high flow rate due to the body special design;

excellent reliability due to high quality materials, precise machining and rigorous
control;

the materials used, depending on the type of components, include stainless steel, brass,
extruded aluminum, elastomer, etc.;

multiple applications: blast burners, thermal stations, industrial installations etc.;

reduced overall dimensions compared to similar products;

range of dimensions intended to provide optimal solution to any problem mentioned;

RTG 320

easy maintenance, without dismantling the regulator from the installation;

low noise level during operation even at high flow rates;

design based on international standards governing this type of products, ISO 9001
certified production system.

RTG 320 regulator operation

RTG 320 regulators are normally open regulators (fail-open), so that they are open when:
-

the inlet pressure is lower than the set pressure;

failure occurs (breakage of control diaphragm).

The upstream (inlet) pressure enters the regulator body (1) through the inlet connection.
Variations in inlet pressure do not create additional forces in the system, as the regulator is
provided with a separation diaphragm (6) - (meaning it is balanced).
The pressure is regulated by modifying the distance between the seat (2) and the valve plate
(3), which results in different passage sections.
The downstream (regulated) pressure is applied by means of the impulse connection under the
control diaphragm (7) generating a force that opposes the force produced by the spring (8).
A change in the downstream pressure creates an imbalance in the system, determining the
valve plate (3) to open proportionally with the flow required by the user.
In the rated operation conditions (constant inlet pressure, constant flow rate), the assembly
composed of spring, diaphragm, rod, valve plate is in balance.
Modifications in one or more parameters produce an imbalance in the system, which moves
until reaching another point of balance.
The set value of the inlet pressure can be changed by means of the adjustment screw (10). The
screw acts on the spring (8) modifying the pretensioning force.

Selection of pressure regulator

According to SR EN 334+A1:2008, the flow coefficient Kg is taken into consideration when
selecting the regulator size.
The maximum flow rate is established assuming that the regulator is totally open.
The following formulas are used to determine the maximum flow rate:
Pa
0.5
Pe

a) in subcritical conditions, when

( Pe Pa ) Pa

Q = Kg

b) in critical conditions, when

Pa
< 0.5
Pe
Q=

Kg

The symbols used and their meaning are listed below:

Q flow rate [Stm3/h]
Pe absolute inlet pressure [bar]
Pa absolute outlet pressure [bar]
Kg natural gas flow coefficient [Stm3/h].

For regulators, the recommended gas velocity in the outlet flange is less than 150 m/s.
The erosion phenomenon accelerates and the noise level increases significantly at greater
velocity.
The pipes are sized for gas velocities lower than 20 m/s.
Gas velocity in the outlet flange or in pipes is calculated using the formula:

V = 345.92

Q (1 0.002 pa )
2
Di (1 + pa )

where:
V gas velocity [m/s]
Q flow rate [Stm3/h]
Di inner diameter [mm] for pressure regulators Di = DN

SB 750 valve operation

Figure 4 SB 75 control mechanism

RTG 320

Figure 5 SB 750 incorporated shut-off valve

The description of the SB 750 valve operation references Figures 4 and 5. When the regulated
pressure is within the working range, the shut-off valve is open.
The main components of the SB 750 valve:
1. diaphragm

5. fork

8. spring

2. rod

6. spring

9. valve plate holder

3. minimum spring

7. cam

10. reset button

4. maximum spring
The regulated pressure acts on the diaphragm (1) of the servomotor, maintaining the rod (2) in
balance position. Thus, the movement of the cam (7) under the action of the spring is
prevented by the fork (5) whose radial movement is determined by the rod (2).
If the pressure increases over the maximum allowable value, the force of the spring (4) is
overcome, which determines the rod (2) to move. The fork (5) releases the cam (7), which,
under the action of the spring (6) moves, releasing the valve plate holder (9).
If the pressure decreases under the minimum allowable value, the force of the spring (3)
moves the rod (2), which rotates the fork (5), releasing the cam (7). The cam moves and
releases the blocking mechanism, under the action of the spring (6).
The movement of the valve plate (9) under the action of the spring (8) closes the valve. Sealing
is ensured by O-rings.

Notation
The pressure regulator are identified by specifying the constructive variant, the nominal
dimension of inlet-outlet connections and the maximum working pressure.
Example:

For example, the notation RTG 320-25-16-SB 750 designates a 320 pressure regulator, with
DN 25 flanged connections, maximum working pressure of 16 bar, equipped with SB 750
incorporated shut-off valve.
Additional requirements, if any, must be specified when placing the order.
