General recommendations: To reduce the adverse
effects on the sense signal due to high gas velocity and
turbulence:
Pipeline diameters may need to be increased in pipe

sections containing sense connections.
Pilot #1
Pilot #2
1st Stage Regulator
1st Stage Regulator
1. Filter supply connected from inlet connection on regulator body to Type 30 Filter inlet.
2. Pilot supply from outlet connection on Type 30 Filter to Type 24 Restrictor inlet.
3. Type 24 Restrictor mounted to Inlet port of Series 20 Pilot (#1).
4. Loading Port of Series 20 Pilot (#1) connected to Loading connection on Spring Case of the
Flowgrid regulator.
5. Outlet port of Series 20 Pilot (#1) connected to Inlet port of the monitor Series 20 Pilot (#2).
6. Sense line connecting sense port on Series 20 Pilot to interstage piping.
7. Sense line connecting sense port on the monitor Series 20 Pilot (#2) to downstream piping.
8. Outlet port of Series 20 Pilot (#2) connected to Outlet connection of Flowgrid regulator.
9. Loading port on the monitor Series 20 pilot (#2) is plugged.
10. Pilot cartridges in PRV mode.
2nd Stage Regulator
11. Filter supply connected from inlet connection on regulator body to Type 30 Filter inlet.
12. Pilot supply from outlet connection on Type 30 Filter to Type 24 Restrictor inlet.
11. Pilot supply tubing from inlet connection on regulator body to Type 24 Restrictor inlet.
13. Type 24 Restrictor mounted to Inlet port of Series 20 Pilot (#3).
14. Loading Port of Series 20 Pilot (#3) connected to Loading connection on Spring Case of the
Flowgrid regulator.
15. Outlet port of Series 20 Pilot (#3) connected to Outlet connection of Flowgrid regulator.
16. Sense line connecting Sense port on Series 20 Pilot (#3) to downstream piping.
17. Pilot (#3) cartridge in PRV mode.
NOTE: In a working Monitor system with less than 25 psig (1.72 bar) differential across the second stage regulator the pilot supply (11) may be connected to
the piping upstream of the first stage regulator. This will improve the shutoff of the second stage regulator.
10 | GE Oil & Gas
Gas velocity should be less than 100 ft/sec (30m/sec).
■ ■
Sense connections should be 8-10 pipeline diamters
■ ■
away from turbulent areas
Follow EN12186 piping specification
