PRESSURE REGULATOR AND ITS METHOD OF ASSEMBLY

摘要

A pressure regulator includes a hermetically sealed housing (10) that limits the potential for leak paths to atmosphere or exterior to the housing. Regulating means (52) with the regulator includes a damping arrangement (100) for limiting oscillations during high flow rates. A stem clip (110) secures a poppet assembly (120) to movable part (80) of the regulating means (52). The stem clip (100) permits radial movement of the poppet assembly (120) to facilitate centering of the poppet assembly (120) relative to a valve seat (132). The poppet assembly (120) includes a self-tappable poppet (130) to precisely set the opening between the poppet (130) and the valve seat (132) irrespective of tolerance stack-up.
