GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSS-CONNECTED AIR/GAS RATIO REGULATORS

Operation of this system depends on an adequate gas supply pressure. With 16 osi impulse the regulator will open until an outlet pressure of 16 osi is reached. If the regulator is sized to take a 2 osi pressure drop at full fire conditions, an inlet pressure of 18 osi or more is required. A little extra inlet pressure is desirable as a safety factor; thus . . .
