16
Q

What will a reg do if debris is on the seal

A

Relief downstream
Will slam shut if it is too much

17
Q

How much less droop does a pilot operated regulator have

A

1-3 %

18
Q

What is amplification called

A

Gain

19
Q

Where should the sensing line be downstream on a two path control

A

4-10 pipe diameters on the top of the pipe

20
Q

Which has a slower reaction Two path or Unloaded control

A

Unloaded control

21
Q

Though the unloaded is more simple and inexpensive what are the downsides

A

Has a high differential reaction
slower than 2 pass
uses flexible membrane element to throttle flow

22
Q

Steps to select regulator

A

Measure inlet where regulator will be
Static pressure
Min inlet pressure
Max flow

23
Q

Which regulator is not recommended for high pressure
Direct operated
or pilot operated

A

Direct operated

24
Q

Body size should never be larger than pipe size
True or false

A

True
