The Model 10BP is a high capacity regulator that relieves excess pressure in a pneumatic system.  The Model 10BP provides greater accuracy than relief valves over a narrow pressure range.  The Model 10BP is an excellent choice for a wide range of precision applications.

Operating Principles
The Model 10BP Regulator uses the force balance principle to open the Relief Valve and vent system pressure when the set point is exceeded. Downstream pressure is transmitted through the Aspirator Tube to the bottom of the Diaphragm Assembly.  When you adjust the range screw for a specific set point, the Positive Bias Spring compresses and exerts a force on the top of the Diaphragm Assembly.  As long as the pressure acting on the bottom of the Diaphragm Assembly produces a force less than the spring force acting on the top of the Diaphragm Assembly, the Relief Valve remains closed.  When system pressure increases, the force on the bottom of the Diaphragm Assembly increases until it reaches the set point. When system pressure increases beyond the set point, the assembly moves upward, lifting the Relief Valve from its seat and vents the downstream air.  If downstream pressure decreases below the set point, the assembly moves downward closing the Relief Valve.
