670 Series Panel-Mounted Loading Regulators

670 Loading Regulators Description The Types 670, 671, 674, and 675 panel-mounted loading regulators (figures 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7) are compact, rugged units used primarily for manually loading pressure-balanced gas regulators and providing manual control for diaphragm actuator control valves. Applications include remote control of gas pressure to burners in refineries, power plants, and various process furnaces. The Types 670 and 675 units use the Type 67R or 67AFR pressure regulator, the Type 671 unit uses the Type 912 pressure regulator, and the Type 674 unit uses the Type 1301F pressure regulator.
The Type 672 unit is a loading panel and does not use regulators. The Type 672 panel has one gauge and a changeover valve.
Three basic panels are available within the product line as shown in figure 1, 6, and 7, each having one pressure regulator connected to one or two gauges or two gauges and a changeover valve. A single gauge typically shows loading pressure to the control valve. With two gauges, one gauge shows the loading pressure and the other gauge can be connected to show downstream control pressure or any other pressure up to 20.6 bar (300 psig). Manual backup of pneumatic controllers can be handled with those 670 Series units having a changeover valve. With it the operator selects either the automatic controller output (displayed on one gauge) or the manual loader output (displayed on the other gauge and adjusted by the handwheel) as the signal to the control valve actuator.

Regulator Flow Capacity

See appropriate pressure regulator bulletin

Internal Relief for Pressure Regulators

Adequate for relieving only minor buildup situations. Refer to the appropriate pressure regulator bulletin to determine if external relief is required.


1. These pressure ranges are recommended, but all springs used in the Type 67R or 67AFR regulators can be adjusted down to 0 bar or 0 psig.
2. Defined in ISA Standard S51.1-1979.

Features

  • Control Flexibility—With a changeover valve, the operator can deliver pressure to the control valve from the manual loader, a controller, or bypass the panel completely.
  • Gauge Identification—Big, clear, white-on-black labels (see figure 1) show gauge function and units at a glance.
  • Convenient Fingertip Control—Turn the panel-mounted handwheel clockwise to increase or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure to the control valve while watching the high visibility black-on-white gauges.
  • Easy Connections—Unit comes with all the hardware necessary to connect the loading pressure gauge to the pressure regulator.
  • Versatility—Pressure regulators are suitable for a variety of gaseous fluids including natural gas, propane, and air.
  • Compact Size—The slim profiles of the regulators are ideal for installations where space behind the panel is limited.
