Holy crap. 5 minutes, no stupid sponsors, no bs. And I learned something. This is what YouTube should be. Thank you.
Excellent video. As long as it needs to be and no longer. No useless intro about what the video is going to contain, no history of regulators, no intrusive music and no ai Voice over. Well done mate
Pretty Good Video Here are some corrections/additions: 1. Natural gas is methane and not considered a Liquified Petroleum gas. 2. Liquified Petroleum gases are: Propane, Butane, Iso Butane, etc. 3. The access cap for the regulator adjustment is righthand threaded - not left hand as was shown. 4. The gas regulator shown in the video is very basic - like the one on your gas grill. Almost all gas regulators provided by gas utility companies have a threaded vent port, so that the screen can be removed and small diameter pipe and fittings can be used to direct the vented gases outdoors (if the regulator is installed indoors) or if installed outdoors, to direct the opening down so rain does not enter the vent port. That way the regulator can be installed horizontally as well as vertically. 5. Larger gas regulators (like the one's on most homes and businesses installed by the gas utility) have interchangeable gas metering orifices and adjustment springs. Changing the gas orifice size, changes the volume of gas that can flow through the regulator, while changing the spring stiffness, changes the range of outlet pressure adjustment capability.
Having installed and replaced hundreds of these, this kind of detail really helps me understand the exact operation and potential failure modes. Thanks!
Such a beautiful simple design. I love these self regulating mechanical concoctions
The arrows exist in the same 3d space and cast shadows and reflections! You madman! That's a very little detail many won't actively notice but it adds so much! These videos are great in their explaining and visuals
I learned something. Thanks
A short , informative, no BS video. five minutes ago I didn't know how a regulator worked, and now I do. You've earned my subscription.
By "access" pressure, the AI voice bot means "excess" pressure. This condition occurs rarely, and can sometimes be fixed by wiping off the rubber seat clean of debris, or replacing the rubber seat altogether in case of tears or scarring. "Dual stage regulators" mentioned toward the end of the video are more often called "Series Regulation". More complicated forms exist and are useful in various applications, but you covered the basics. This was an excellent explanation, and I'm a natural gas utility worker of 20+ years experience.
I love this channel. I probably will never user this information but I can't help but to find it fascinating. Makes you appreciate the human ingenuity
Wow, was that perfect! Good explanation and incredible graphics. No obnoxious music or stupid jump cuts. This is a textbook example of how it should be done. Thanks.
Criminally underrated channel
Brilliant summary. I didn't realize it uses atmospheric pressure as the baseline, which will shift up and down depending on atmospheric pressure. That makes sense because at the outlet burners, flow of gas out will also depend on the relative difference between line pressure and atmospheric pressure.
How did I not come across this channel before? The answer to the question that has long tormented me is short, clear, understandable, and much more detailed than I expected. Thank you!
The golden age of YouTube! Interesting informative and not jammed up with garbage adds and product pusher!
Your videos are TOP NOTCH. 10/10 every time. Keep it up!
One of the best channels I've found recently
This is one of the most ingenious inventions *ever*. Goes hand to hand with the differential.
Couple points. The relief valve is a safety device in case the seat disk does not close off 100%. If it is venting at all, then a repair is in order.
