3. On the sizing chart, find where the corrected flow in-
tersects the pressure drop from Step 1. Move down
from this point. The first regulator curve you come to
is the size to use.
Bypass Sizing
1. Correct the low fire bypass flow you want with the
same factors used to size the regulator.
2. Find this flow at the bottom of the bypass orifice sizing
chart and read up to the pressure drop that will be
available across the regulator. (At low fire, this nearly
equals the inlet pressure to the regulator, so you can
simply use the inlet pressure.)
3. Move down from this point. The first orifice curve you
come to is the size to use.
