Model DA6

Back Pressure Regulator

SKU#:

Model DA6

  • Description

The Model DA6 is a high performance, pressure loaded, back pressure regulator with top-guided piston-cylinder that provides high flow capacity and high pressure drop capability. Internal trim design allows the same basic unit to cover a broad range of pressure settings. Performance approaches that of competitive pilot-operated designs in the basic design. Applied primarily in clean gaseous service, but also can be applied as a liquid or steam valve. Truly a “DO-ALL” pressure regulator. Requires auxiliary pressure loading fluid.

Features

  • Versatile: Four basic materials and multiple trim material combinations to select from.
  • Tight Shutoff: Multiple composition materials provide Classes II, IV or VI inboard leakage rates. Designed as a soft-seated valve.
  • Capacity: Highest in the industry. Allows smaller body sizes than competitors in a majority of applications.
  • Pressure Drop: One of highest in the industry when coupled with high flow capacity.
  • Trim Design: "DO-ALL" trim design provides FTO flow direction. Results in high sensitivity and stability. Internals are cage-contained within easily removable quick change trim.
  • Rangeability: Basic valve gives outstanding rangeability due to close tolerances, balanced trim, and a broad range of elastomeric diaphragms and soft seats. Can be as high as 1000:1.
  • Heavy-Duty Guiding: Heavy top guided to maintain stability and increased diaphragm life.
  • Failure Position: Fails open on loss of loading pressure. Fails closed on loss of P1 pressure with loading pressure yet applied.
