2. Instrumentation in petrochemical industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_in...

   Pressure in blanketed tanks is maintained by self actuating pressure control valves (PCVs). As liquid is withdrawn from the tank the pressure in the gas space falls. The blanket gas supply valve opens to maintain the pressure. As the tank fills with liquid the pressure rises and a vent gas valve open to vent gas to atmosphere or a vent system ...

3. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   Diagram symbols for pressure reduction and back pressure regulators. The conceptual difference is mainly in which side the feedback is taken from. A pressure regulator is a valve that controls the pressure of a fluid to a desired value, using negative feedback from the controlled pressure. Regulators are used for gases and liquids, and can be ...

4. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

   The breeching directly below it collects the flue gas and brings it up high into the atmosphere where it will not endanger personnel. The stack damper contained within works like a butterfly valve and regulates draft (pressure difference between air intake and air exit) in the furnace, which is what pulls the flue gas through the convection ...

5. Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

   Pressure regulators are variations of valves in which flow is controlled to produce a certain downstream pressure, if possible. They are often used to control flow of gas from a gas cylinder. A back-pressure regulator is a variation of a valve in which flow is controlled to maintain a certain upstream pressure, if possible.

6. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   The regulator ensures that pressure of the gas from the tanks matches the required pressure in the hose. The flow rate is then adjusted by the operator using needle valves on the torch. Accurate flow control with a needle valve relies on a constant inlet pressure. Most regulators have two stages.

7. High-integrity pressure protection system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-integrity_pressure...

   A high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) is a type of safety instrumented system (SIS) designed to prevent over-pressurization of a plant, such as a chemical plant or oil refinery. The HIPPS will shut off the source of the high pressure before the design pressure of the system is exceeded, thus preventing loss of containment through ...
