2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   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 an integral device with a pressure setting, a restrictor and a sensor ...

3. Natural gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

   Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas, or simply gas) ... (2 to 5 psi), and have downstream pressure regulators to reduce pressure as needed.

4. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

   Industrial compressed gas cylinders used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting of steel. A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High- pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid ...

5. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

   Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to ...

6. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

   Compressed natural gas. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 atm), usually in cylindrical or spherical ...

7. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_of_diving_regulators

   The valve is closed. The mechanism of diving regulators is the arrangement of components and function of gas pressure regulators used in the systems which supply breathing gases for underwater diving. Both free-flow and demand regulators use mechanical feedback of the downstream pressure to control the opening of a valve which controls gas flow ...
