Type 92S Pilot-Operated Steam Regulator
Introduction
The Type 92S steam regulator is piston actuated for
high cycle steam service which includes a Type 6492L,
6492H, or 6492HT pilot (see Figure 1). These pilots
have bellows sealed stems to eliminate stem guide
friction. The valve and pilot use lapped seating surfaces
that have been proven to minimize seat leakage.
Features
• Good Shutoff for Low Downstream Build-up—
Type 92S main valve and Types 6492H, 6492L, and
6492HT pilots are machine-lapped seating surfaces
that have been time-proven to minimize seat leakage
when the downstream demand is zero and the
regulator is shutoff.
• Resistance to Piping Stresses—Steel
constructions are available to help resist the piping
stresses commonly encountered in steam applications.
• Ease of Installation—Compact construction
reduces installation space requirements. Supply of
pressure to the pilot is supplied from the inlet side
of the main valve through factory piped tubing;
with a standard pilot, this means no separate pilot
supply pressure is required.
• Increased Sensitivity to Downstream Pressure
Changes—Friction-reducing bellows seal on
the pilot stem and large pilot diaphragm areas
yield good sensitivity.
• Ease of Pilot Maintenance—Pilot valve plug and
seat can be removed for inspection of maintenance
without disassembling piping connections and
without removing the diaphragm. Pilot inlet screen
(Figure 2) is easily removed with the seating
parts for inspection and cleaning. Diaphragm can
be removed without disturbing the seating parts.
• Noise Reduction Capability Without Decrease
in Capacity—A noise attenuation trim is
available for use with NPS 2 / DN 50 and larger
main valve sizes to provide an economical yet
full- ow means for the reduction of noise from high
velocity steam ow. Further noise reduction of
the system can be achieved by the use of a heavier
piping schedule and/or thermal insulation of the
attached piping.
