Which regulator supports the theory that gas pressure is gradually reduced as gas flows from a high-pressure source through a series of stages to the outlet?
a. Single-stage regu-lator c. Preset regulator
b. Flowmeter d. Multistage regulator
ANS: D
Gas from a compressed cylinder (e.g., 2200 psig) enters the first stage of a two-stage regulator, and the gas pressure is reduced to an intermediate pressure (e.g., 700 psig). This lower pressure gas then enters into the second stage of the regulator, where the gas pressure is further reduced to the desired working pressure (e.g., 50 psig) before the gas reaches the outlet.
