P&ID Valves - Pressure Reducing Regulator

What is a Pressure Reducing Regulator?

A pressure reducing regulator, also known as a pressure reducing valve, is a mechanical device that automatically reduces a high, often variable inlet pressure to a lower, stable outlet pressure. It achieves this without the need for an external power source, instead, using a spring and diaphragm or piston mechanism to regulate the fluid’s flow.

What is a Pressure Reducing Regulator P&ID Symbol?

The pressure reducing regulator symbol is a graphical representation of the device, used to provide an easy indication of the device’s location without requiring a physical inspection.

The symbol typically features a pair of triangles representing the values, with a semicircle above it, depicting the regulatory flow.
