The AOC-3112 Model Self-Operated Pressure Regulator Valve with Pilot (hereinafter referred to as the Pressure Valve) does not require an external energy source. It utilizes the energy of the regulated medium as the power source, introducing the pilot of the Pressure Valve to control the position of the valve core, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the medium through the valve. This ensures that the downstream pressure (Type B) or upstream pressure (Type K) remains constant. Type B is primarily used when the upstream pressure is relatively high (0.2-0.8 MPa) and the downstream pressure is very low (0.5-100 KPa), such as in cases of 50 mmH2O (water column). Type K is used exclusively in nitrogen purging systems and is compatible with nitrogen supply systems.
1. The pressure setting is accomplished on the pilot, making it convenient, quick, labor-saving, and time-efficient, with the capability of continuous adjustment during operation. It boasts high control accuracy, making it suitable for applications requiring high precision control.
2. For the same valve, the adjustment range is broader compared to an ordinary self-operated valve.
3. It is particularly sensitive, capable of detecting very small pressures (such as a pressure of 50 mm H2O) or minimal pressure changes.
4. The pressure reduction ratio is exceptionally large; for example, with an upstream pressure of 0.8 MPa and a downstream pressure of 50 mm H2O, the pressure differential ratio reaches 1600.
For applications of other products (self-operated micro-pressure regulator valve, self-operated differential pressure regulator valve, self-operated temperature regulator valve, self-operated flow regulator valve, self-operated liquid level regulator valve), please contact the SNT Technical Department.

The self-regulating pressure valve is factory adjusted to the set value, but if the user wants to change the set value, or if for some reason the actual indication value deviates from the set value, the pressure can be lowered by turning the adjusting bar with the turning piece 7 (adjusting disc) in the clockwise direction and the pressure increased by turning it in the counterclockwise direction.
