Tubing
  • Definition
    A hollow, cylindrical pipe or conduit used to transport fluids or gases, or for structural support. 
     
  • Examples:
    • Flexible plastic tubing for low-pressure applications like HVAC. 
       
    • Steel tubing used in the chassis of vehicles. 
       
    • Rubber or braided hoses used in scuba gear. 
       
Regulators
  • Definition
    A self-adjusting mechanical device that controls pressure by balancing forces to maintain a constant downstream or upstream pressure, regardless of fluctuations in the system. 
     
  • Mechanism
    Uses a loading mechanism (like a spring), a sensing element (like a diaphragm), and a control element (a valve) to reduce high inlet pressure to a lower, consistent outlet pressure. 
     
  • Functions:
    • Pressure ReductionReduces high-pressure gas or liquid to a usable, lower pressure. 
       
    • Pulsation SuppressionHelps to smooth out the flow of gas or liquid. 
       
    • ConsistencyMaintains a stable output pressure despite changes in input pressure, flow demand, or temperature. 
       
  • Applications:
    • IndustrialControlling compressed air in HVAC systems. 
       
    • MedicalDelivering medical gases to patients. 
       
    • RecreationalDelivering air from a scuba tank for breathing underwater.
