are similar to those of to the standard R100 regulator. This

gives the R100(S)-M its unique properties with respect to fast
action, low lock-up pressure, accuracy and stabillity, making it
superior to other fully open and working monitor designs. The
monitor can be supplied with (R100S-M) or without low-noise
cage (R100-M) and acceleration pilot.

The R100 series consists of five types of regulators:

- R100

: the pilot-controlled standard model;

- R100SO

: same as R100 but spring to open;

R101S

- R100S

: same as R100/R100SO but with

The R101S is a regulator with a hybrid low-noise cage. Using

- R100(S)-M : monitor version of the R100 with or
without low-noise cage;
- R101S

: same as R100 with hybrid low-noise cage;

a low-noise cage always results in a reduction of capacity.

There are circumstances when the regulator must maintain a
specific nominal capacity in combination with a low-noise level
in case of both high and low inlet pressures. In those instances, a regulator with a greater nominal diameter normally has

an inlet pressure up to 100 bar and an outlet pressure range of

0.5 up to and including 60 bar.

As an alternative to this, Gorter Controls has succesfully developed the hybrid low-noise cage. This hybrid low-noise cage
guarantees noise reduction under normal operating conditions.

R100S
The R100S pressure regulator is a low-noise version of the
R100, with noise reduction up to 40 dB(A). The special low-noise
cage reduces the sound at the source instead of damping it and
is therefore very effective and satisfies the current requirements
on sound level. Except for the low-noise cage, the R100S is
identical to the standard version R100. Higher outlet pressures
are available on request.

features
>> Low maintenance costs

>> Excellent control characteristics

> Long maintenance interval because of:

- high degree of control accuracy (

- minimal friction

- low lock-up pressure (

- minimal number of parts

- fast response

> Easy to assemble / disassemble:

because of:

- regulator body remains in line during maintenance

- voluminous actuator

- seat ring is easy to inspect

- large diaphragm area

2,5%)

- minimal hysteresis

> The use of economical materials

- low set point deviation due to a two-stage pilot

- balanced design

>> Optimal noise reduction

Using patented techniques and a noise-reducing cage, the
BAAI R100(S) can reduce noise production to an acceptable
minimum. Noise reduction up to 40 dB(A) is possible, depending on the user's environment.

>> High specific flow rate

- hydrodynamically favourable design of regulator body
>> Remote or flow control

>> Optimal control at pressure differences from 0.5 bar

The BAAI R100(S) distinghuises itself from the competition by
its ability to control the gas pressure perfectly at pressure differences from 0.5 bar. The optimally balanced valve construction of the BAAI R100(S) thus makes it highly suitable for
extreme applications.

- By using a special pilot, the regulator can be remote

controlled or used as a flow controller in combination with
the proper instrumentation.
- Compared to normal control valves, this has the advantage that
pressure control is continued even if external power is lost.
>> Clear and complete technical documentation
- satisfies current requirements

>> Special patented valve seat

- available in different languages

- long maintenance interval due to the erosion-free

enclosure of the seat ring
- bubble-tight even at low temperatures

Because of its special construction, the low-noise cage

has a noise reduction effect that is virtually independent of
the flow rate. Moreover, noise reduction increases as the
difference in pressure across the regulator increases.
