The primary purpose of a liquid pressure regulator, also known as a pressure reducing valve, is to convert varying or excessive upstream pressure to a predetermined maximum downstream pressure (prevents the downstream pressure from ever exceeding the set pressure). In a thermoplastic piping system the regulator is used for the following reasons:
-Protect downstream instrumentation from exposure to excessive inlet pressure.
-Regulate to the correct pressure range so that a flow system or piece of equipment can operate safely and effectively.
