MSEC is a premier distributor of high-quality industrial pilot-operated and direct-acting regulators. Regulators maintain optimal operating conditions, from ensuring consistent pipeline flow to guarding equipment from pressure surges. MSEC offers a selection of quality components for various industrial pressure control applications.
Pilot-operated regulators utilize an auxiliary pressure source to control the main valve. They offer superior accuracy and stability under varying flow conditions and do not suffer from “Droop” as direct-acting regulators.
Direct-acting regulators are a lower cost option that operate through a simple mechanical linkage, directly responding to changes in downstream pressure. They are ideal for applications requiring quick response times but where precise pressure control is not required.
The distinction between pilot-operated and direct-acting regulators lies in their operational mechanisms, droop and specific use cases.
MSEC’s direct-acting regulators and filter regulators provide constantly controlled, reduced pressures to pneumatic and electro-pneumatic controllers and other instruments. They suit most air or gas applications, chucks, air jets and spray guns.
Direct-operated regulators adequate control for many applications. These regulators deliver pressure control with minimal maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing downtime.
Direct-acting regulators have:
However, direct-acting regulators may not be ideal for applications requiring precise outlet pressure control due to droop, a slight decrease in outlet pressure as the flow rate increases.
Pilot-operated regulators sense the outlet pressure and cause the main valve to respond quickly to downstream pressure. Their ability to manage high-pressure drops accurately makes them indispensable for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing and power generation, where precision cannot be compromised.
Pilot-operated regulators offer several advantages:
However, pilot-operated regulators are more complex and costlier than their direct-acting counterparts.
