Overpressuring any portion of a regulator or associated
equipment may cause personal injury, leakage, or
property damage due to bursting of pressure-containing
parts or explosion of accumulated gas. Provide
appropriate pressure relieving or pressure limiting
devices to ensure that the limits in the Specications or
Table 4 are not exceeded. Regulator operation within
ratings does not prevent the possibility of damage from
external sources or from debris in the pipeline.
Refer to the relief sizing coefcients and the Capacity
Information section to determine the required relief
valve capacity.
Tables 7 through 11 give the natural gas regulating
capacities of S200 Series regulators at selected inlet
pressures and outlet pressure settings. Flows are
in SCFH (60°F and 14.7 psia) and Nm
3
/h (0°C and
1.01325 bar) of 0.6 specic gravity natural gas. To
determine equivalent capacities for air, propane,
butane, or nitrogen, multiply the SCFH table capacity
by the following appropriate conversion factor: 0.775
for air, 0.628 for propane, 0.548 for butane, or 0.789
for nitrogen. For gases of other specic gravities,
multiply the given capacity by 0.775, and divide by the
square root of the appropriate specic gravity.

These regulators may be installed in any position. If
gas escaping through the internal relief valve could
constitute a hazard, the vent must be piped to a
location where escaping gas will not be hazardous. In
this case, obstruction-free tubing or piping of at least
the same diameter as the vent size with a minimum
number of bends should be used, and a screened vent
should be installed on the end of the vent pipe. On all
installations, the vent or the end of the vent pipe must
be protected from anything that might clog it.
