A pressure regulator is a valve that automatically cuts off the flow of a liquid or gas at a certain pressure. Regulators are used to allow high-pressure fluid supply lines or tanks to be reduced to safe and/or usable pressures for various applications.
A device for controlling and maintaining a uniform outlet gas pressure.
A device used to control the pressure of a gas or liquid. [800-82] (see also control)
(valve) control consisting of a mechanical device for controlling the flow of a fluid
A cylindrical mechanism in a brass instrument that, when depressed or turned, admits air into different sections of tubing and so extends the range of available notes
(valve) a structure in a hollow organ (like the heart) with a flap to insure one-way flow of fluid through it
A device for controlling the passage of fluid through a pipe or duct, esp. an automatic device allowing movement in one direction only
A membranous fold in a hollow organ or tubular structure, such as a blood vessel or the digestive tract, that maintains the flow of the contents in one direction by closing in response to any pressure from reverse flow
(valve) device in a brass wind instrument for varying the length of the air column to alter the pitch of a tone
dead pressure regulator
this thing controls a diaphragm valve on our filter. It failed and rendered the machine inoperable. 20,000 gallons of chardonnay can't be bottled until this machine is fixed. Bummer.
Pressure Regulator
Pressure regulator cut off ball bearing. The seat under this ball bearing valve can become worn (so I'm told) so I reseated it with a brass punch and a single blow from a hammer.
