Figure 4. Type 112 Restrictor
Pilot Adjustment
The factory setting of the regulator can be varied
within the pressure range stamped on the nameplate.
To change the set (control) pressure, loosen the
jam nut (key 17, Figure 14) and turn the adjusting
screw (key 15) clockwise to increase set (control)
pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitor
the set (control) pressure with a test gauge during the
adjustment. Tighten the locknut to maintain the
desired setting.
Recommended set (control) pressure ranges available
and color codes of the respective springs are shown in
Table 3.
Type 112 Restrictor Adjustment (Figure 5)
The Type 112 restrictor controls the relief valve or
backpressure regulator’s accuracy and speed of
response. A restrictor setting of “6” for the 1, 2 and
3 in. sizes and “8” for the 4 in. size are recommended
to optimize accuracy, speed of response and stability.
However, the restrictor can be used to ne tune the
relief valve or backpressure regulator for maximum
performance by decreasing the restrictor setting for
tighter control (increased opening speed, decreased
closing speed); or increasing the restrictor setting
for maximum stability (decreased opening speed,
increased closing speed). A lower setting also provides
a narrower proportional band for better accuracy. The
“8” position has the largest ow, is most stable and
easiest for startup. The “0” setting has the smallest
(minimum) ow passage; at no point of rotation will the
Type 112 restrictor be completely shut off.
Note
Mineral, dirt and sediments may
gradually deposit and build up inside the
spaces of the restrictor. This may cause
the unit response to get slower and unit
performance to decrease. If clogging of
the restrictor is suspected, immediately
check and clean the restrictor.
Regular inspection of the restrictor
is recommended to ensure optimum
performance. Refer to the Type 112
Restrictor Maintenance section.
Likewise, debris in the process uid
may clog the restrictor. Install strainer
upstream of the regulator to prevent
debris from clogging the restrictor.
Regular inspection, maintenance and
cleaning of the strainer is recommended
to ensure optimum performance.
Recommended Type 112 Restrictor
Settings and Restrictor Setting Guide
(Table 4 and Figure 5)
This guide can be used to adjust performance
according to application conditions. The recommended
initial setting is “6” for the 1, 2 and 3 in. sizes and “8”
for the 4 in. size (see Table 4).
Maintenance
Relief valve or backpressure regulator parts are
subject to normal wear and must be inspected
periodically and replaced as necessary. Due to the
care Emerson™ takes in meeting all manufacturing
requirements (heat treating, dimensional tolerances,
etc.), use only replacement parts manufactured or
furnished by Emerson. Also, when lubrication is
required, use a good quality lubricant and lightly coat
the recommended part.
