Media

Barksdale’s pressure regulators are sensitive, pressure-control

devices used to maintain a pre-determined pressure in a

hydraulic circuit. The regulated output pressure is controlled by man-

ually adjusting the spring force to balance the hydraulic loading. Design features ensure

excellent accuracy, repeatability and high flow coefficients.

1/2” NPT Heavy Duty Regulator

With Barksdale, Pressure is Under Control
Barksdale’s pressure regulators are built on
Shear-Seal® Technology, where the media passes
through an internal gallery rather than across a
sealing surface. This rugged, corrosion-resistant
design and construction allows for long-term use in
a wide range of applications such as
chemical/petrochemical plants, refineries, gas pro-
cessing, steel mills and for blow out preventer
accumulator systems.

Self-Adjusting
Regulated output pressure is controlled by manu-
ally adjusting the spring force. If the output or reg-
ulated pressure exceeds the desired setting, the
excess pressure is automatically relieved through
a vent port. If the output pressure drops below the
preset value, fluid from the inlet port automatically Superior Control
