Figure 1. Type 1190 Low-Pressure Gas Blanketing Regulator
Introduction
The Type 1190 low-pressure gas blanketing regulator
is used for extremely accurate pressure control on
very low-pressure blanketing systems. The regulator
helps to control emissions and provides protection
against any contamination from atmospheric conditions
by providing a ushing action. The Type 1190 gas
blanketing regulator maintains a positive vessel
pressure thereby reducing the possibility of vessel wall
collapse during pump-out operations.
A Type 1190 low-pressure gas blanketing regulator
reduces a high-pressure gas, such as Nitrogen, to
maintain a protective environment above any liquid
stored in a tank or vessel while the liquid is being
pumped out. Also, when the vessel cools suddenly
causing the vapors inside the vessel to condense,
the gas blanketing regulator replaces the condensed
vapors with the blanketing gas to prevent the internal
vessel pressure from decreasing. In both cases a
slight positive vessel pressure prevents outside air,
moisture, and other contaminants from entering the
vessel and the possible collapse of the vessel walls.
Features
• Quick-Change Trim Package—Tested trim
packages can be made up and stocked ahead of
time for fast replacement.
• In-Service Travel Inspection—Standard
indicator assembly with protective cover permits
periodic inspection of plug travel without removing
regulators from service.
• Easy In-Line Maintenance—Top-entry design
reduces maintenance time and manpower
requirements; trim parts can be inspected,
cleaned, and replaced without removing the main
valve body from the pipeline.
• Factory-Piped Pilot Supply—Supply pressure to
pilot is supplied from inlet side of the main valve
body through tubing furnished with the regulator.

Figure 2. Operational Schematic
Principle of Operation
The Type 1190 gas blanketing regulator reduces a
high-pressure inert gas to maintain a positive
low-pressure of blanket gas over a stored liquid while
liquid is being pumped out of the tank. Also, when
the tank suddenly cools causing tank vapors to
condense, the Type 1190 regulator replaces the
condensing vapors with an inert gas to prevent the
internal tank pressure from decreasing. In both
cases, a positive tank pressure prevents outside air
from entering the vessel preventing contamination
and reducing the possibility of atmospheric pressure
collapsing the vessel.
The Type 1190 regulator is pilot-operated. It responds
to slight decreases in internal tank pressure by throttling
open to increase the ow rate of inert gas into the vessel.
When the vessel’s liquid level has been lowered to the
desired point and the vapor pressure re-established, the
Type 1190 regulator throttles closed.

PRESSURE
The Type 1190 regulator utilizes a Type 1098-EGR
main valve actuator (Type EGR main valve and
Type 1098 actuator), a Type Y191A sensing pilot,
and a Type 95H supply pressure regulator. The
Type Y191A pilot uses the high-pressure inlet gas,
reduced by a Type 95H supply pressure regulator,
as loading pressure to operate the Type 1098-EGR
main valve actuator. The outlet or vessel pressure is
sensed through a control line on the Type 1098-EGR
main valve actuator and also on the Type Y191A
pilot diaphragm.
When the liquid level is decreased and vessel
pressure decreases below the pilot control spring
setting, the pilot spring force on the pilot diaphragm
opens the pilot valve plug, allowing additional loading
pressure to the main valve actuator diaphragm. The
loading pressure opens the main valve plug to supply
the required ow of gas to the vessel.

When downstream demand has been satised, outlet
pressure tends to increase slightly, acting on the pilot
and main valve diaphragms. When the outlet pressure
exceeds the pilot control spring setting, the pilot
diaphragm moves to close the pilot valve plug. The
loading pressure reduces by exhausting downstream
through the xed restriction, allowing the main valve
spring to close the main valve plug. The combination
of main valve spring force and main valve plug
unbalance provides positive shutoff of the valve plug.
Sizing Blanketing Systems
When sizing a gas blanketing regulator for a lowpressure blanketing application, you must consider
the replacement of blanketing gas required for the
liquid loss during pump out of the vessel plus the
condensation and contraction of the vessel vapors
during atmospheric thermal cooling.
Using procedures such as those established by the
American Petroleum Institute Standard 2000 (API 2000),
determine the ow of blanketing gas required.
1. Determine the gas ow rate required to replace the
liquid being pumped out (see Table 6).
2. Determine the gas ow rate due to “inbreathing”
caused by atmospheric thermal cooling (see Table 7).
3. Add results from steps 1 and 2, then select regulator
size, based on total capacity required (see Table 10).
Inlet Pressure Source ... 60 psig / 4.1 bar of Nitrogen
Desired Blanket Setpoint ... 0.5 inch w.c. / 1.2 mbar
1. From Table 6 the desired air ow rate due to
pump-out is 800 SCFH / 21 Nm3/h of air
(100 GPM / 378 LPM x 8.021 = 802).
2. From Table 7 the desired air ow rate is
40,000 SCFH / 1072 Nm3/h of air due to thermal
cooling. Total required ow rate of 40,800 SCFH /
1093 Nm3/h of air converts to 41,600 SCFH /
1115 Nm3/h of Nitrogen (40,800 x 1.018 = 41,534).

1. To obtain Nm3/h, multiply SCFH by 0.0268.
3. From Table 10, an NPS 1 / DN 25 body size would
ow 45,500 SCFH / 1219 Nm3/h of Nitrogen at
60 psig / 4.1 bar inlet pressure. This would satisfy
the desired ow rate of 41,600 SCFH / 1115 Nm3/h
