• Patent-pending design for superior fl ow and pressure management
• Specifi cally designed for pressure-sensitive tank blanketing applications
• Self-operated for quick response to tank pressure changes
* Based on published data of leading competitors
Introduction
The Type T205B is a direct-operated, internally balanced
regulator. This balanced design allows for greater
fl uctuations in inlet pressure, as well as much greater
fl ow capacity. Higher fl ow has become increasingly
important as updated tank blanketing sizing guidelines*
often result in greater fl ow requirements.
* Such as API 6th Edition 2009 and ISO 28300 2008
Application
The Type T205B regulator has been specifi cally designed
for tank blanketing applications. In tank blanketing, a
gas such as nitrogen in brought into the tank in order to
inert the vapor space above the liquid. This application
is characterized by low pressure. The TypeT205B is able
to maintain very low pressure setpoints and respond to
very small changes in pressure.
Patent-Pending Balanced Trim Design
www.emersonprocess.com/regulators
The TypeT205B features a patent-pending
balanced trim design. This unique design
allows the regulator to achieve much
higher fl ow capacities than traditional
designs. It is less susceptible to pressure
fl uctuations that can originate from the
blanketing gas supply - thus delivering
more accurate performance.
T205B
Balanced Tank Blanketing Regulator
By introducing the least amount of gas
required into a tank, the volume of gas
that escapes through poorly sealed
vents and other paths is reduced. In this
way, signifi cant blanketing gas costs
can be saved. In order to accomplish
this, a regulator that can sense very
low pressures, such as the Type T205B,
is required.
