IRA-4SS Automatic Insertion Instrument Regulator


Welker Probe Regulators are designed to provide your chromatograph, H2S analyzer, thermtitrator,
moisture analyzers, gravitometer, calorimeter, or other on-line gas analyzers with a properly
conditioned sample stream. These regulators are designed with the point of regulation near the tip of
the probe in the flowing stream. The natural temperature drop that occurs at the point of regulation
(Joule-Thomson effect) is offset by the thermal fins on the probe tip. When used with an isolation
valve, the IRA-4SS can be completely installed or removed without interrupting pipeline flow or
operations. The IRA-4SS is another Welker Innovative and Patented Product designed to
improve the profitability of your company.

length).
Provides a regulated sample supply to chromatographs, H2S
analyzers, gravitometers, calorimeters, moisture analyzers, and
other on-line analyzing equipment.
Diaphragm design for increased low pressure output sensitivity.
Probe design inhibits carry-over of free liquids into instrument
supply system.
Thermal fins on probe offset temperature change at point of
regulation and provide sample conditioning.
316 stainless steel construction.
Manufactured under U.S. Patent #4,346,611.
Oil pot for smooth and safe insertion and retraction.
Range springs available for 0-25 psi (0-1.7 Bar), 0-50 psi (0-3.5
