Type 310A Pilot-Operated
 
Fisher Controls
The Type 310A pilot-operated high-pressure regulator (fig-
ure 1) is used where high capacity and accurate control are
essential. This regulator includes one Type 32A pilot as-
sembly mounted on the main valve for pressure-reducing
or wide-open monitoring applications, or two Type 32A pi-
lots mounted on the main valve for working monitor ap-
plications.
Features

High Capacity—Straight-through flow passage al-
lows exceptionally high capacities and stable operation.

Tight Shutoff—Throttling-sleeve design with TFE
seat in body (figure 2) ensures positive shutoff.

Accurate Control—Molded pilot diaphragms pro-
vide a narrow proportional band, and registration of outlet
pressure on the main diaphragm allows excellent control
sensitivity.

Minimum Installation Space Required—Since
main valve design incorporates actuator spring, less instal-
lation space is needed for Type 310A regulators than for
other regulators of comparable capacity.

Reduced Relief Requirements—An optional re-
stricted trim helps reduce relief valve size requirements;
the regulator is easily converted to full capacity by chang-
ing the trim, if flow conditions increase.

Principle of Operation
Figure 3 schematically illustrates the operation of a single-
pilot Type 310A regulator with external pilot supply.
Regulator inlet pressure enters the pilot and is used as sup-
ply pressure for the pilot. The setting of the pilot control
spring determines the reduced outlet (downstream) pres-
sure.
In operation, assume the outlet pressure is less than the
setting of the pilot control spring. Pilot control spring force
then overcomes the force resulting from outlet pressure
acting on the bottom diaphragm. The spring pushes the di-
aphragm plate and yoke assembly away from the relay
seat, opening it and supplying additional loading pressure
to the main valve diaphragm. When this additional loading
pressure exceeds the force resulting from outlet pressure
acting on the main valve diaphragm plus the force of the
main valve spring, the diaphragm is pushed away from the
stationary valve plug. The throttling sleeve opens wider,
and the required gas is supplied to the downstream sys-
tem.
When gas demand in the downstream system has been
satisfied, the outlet pressure acting on the bottom dia-
phragm of the diaphragm plate and yoke assembly results
in a force that overcomes the pilot spring setting and moves
the assembly toward the relay seat, closing it. The loading
pressure acting on the main valve diaphragm bleeds to the
downstream system through the small hole in the dia-
phragm plate and yoke assembly. When rapid main valve
closure is required by unusual control conditions, the bleed
valve opens for increased bleed rate. The force of in-
creased outlet pressure acting on the main valve dia-
phragm plus the main valve spring force overcomes the
force of decreased loading pressure acting on the main
valve diaphragm and moves the throttling sleeve toward
the stationary valve plug to decrease the gas flow to the
downstream system.
The top diaphragm in the pilot acts as a sealing member for
the loading chamber and as a balancing member to the bot-
tom diaphragm. The two diaphragms are connected by a
machined yoke. Pressure change in the center chamber
has little effect on the positioning of the valve disc.

Figure 2. Sectional of Type 310A Regulator with One Type 32A Pilot

Monitoring Systems be able to withstand full inlet pressure or be protected from

Monitoring regulators serve as overpressure protection de-
vices to limit system pressure in the event of open failure
of a working regulator feeding the system. Two uses for the
Type 310A regulator in monitoring systems follow:

Working Monitor—On a working monitor installation
(figure 4), the working monitor regulator is always up-
stream and acts as a first-stage regulator through the work-
ing pilot during normal operation. This arrangement allows
the working monitor’s performance to be observed at all
times. Then, should the second-stage regulator fail open,
the working monitor regulator assumes the entire pressure
reduction function of the system through the monitoring pi-
lot. Note that the working monitor regulator actuator must
it in case the working monitor fails wide open.
Table 1 gives the spread between normal distribution pres-
sure and the minimum pressure at which the working moni-
tor regulator can be set to take over if the working regulator
fails open.

Wide-Open Monitor—Either the upstream or down-
stream regulator can be the monitoring regulator as shown
in figure 5. During normal operation, the monitoring regula-
tor is standing wide open with the reduction to distribution
pressure being taken across the working regulator. Only in
case of open failure of the working regulator does the wide-
open monitoring regulator take control at its slightly higher
setting.
