Mustang® Joule-Thomson Regulator

The Mustang® Joule-Thomson Regulator (MJTR®) is a four-stage pressure regulator designed to compensate for Joule-Thomson cooling during sample extraction. With a ratio controlled multi-piston design, the MJTR ensures the first three stages are always functional, even with fluctuations to the inlet pressure.

The MJTR can be utilized in any application requiring multi-stage pressure regulation for sample conditioning or calibration gas cylinders. An MJTR, located downstream of a sample probe, permits a 4-stage reduction in pressure without distorting the composition of a vapor sample.

When used in combination with insertion probes, the MJTR provides the most practical method for conforming to the API 14.1 and GPA 2166 standards.

Features

  • Patented multi-stage design
  • Preset, ratio controlled stages with configurable final stage
  • Piston pressure sensing elements
  • 20 micron inlet filter
  • Two section design for easy disassembly from heat plate attachment
  • Adjusting screw with lock nut

Benefits

  • Offsets Joule-Thomson cooling providing continuous gas sample conditioning
  • Protects analyzers & helps preserve sample integrity
  • Prevents condensation
  • Minimizes regulator freeze ups
  • Eliminates the need for multiple regulators in series
  • Maintains outlet pressure during large inlet pressure swings
  • Easy to mount in small or densely populated enclosures
