Plast-O-Matic App

This app is designed to help you specify a valve.

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. This app is designed to help you specify a valve. By utilizing your parameters, this application provides a step-by-step process to assure a proper specification.
