Type T205B has a large effective diaphragm area that
detects small pressure change and provides accurate
control at low pressure setting. Type T205B is a lever
style regulator; this regulator style increases force
for lockup, thus, shut off can be attained with small 
lockup pressure.

Refer to Figure 2. Type T205B tank blanketing 
regulator controls the vapor space pressure over a
stored liquid. When liquid is pumped out of the tank or 
vapors in the tank condense, the pressure in the tank 
decreases. Tank pressure is sensed by the actuator 
diaphragm. Spring force pushes the pusher post
assembly, the valve disk moves away from the orice, 
allowing the blanketing gas ow to increase. 
When pressure in the tank increases, the actuator 
diaphragm is pushed. Through the action of the
pusher post assembly, lever and valve stem, the valve 
disk moves closer to the orice reducing blanketing 
gas ow.
The regulator plug is balanced (inlet pressure
creates equal upward and downward forces on these
components), therefore, the outlet (control) pressure of 
the unit is not affected by inlet pressure variation.
