Urano

Urano is a pilot operated pressure regulator developed by Gascat's Engineering Dept. for use with natural gas in high differential pressure application. Its outstanding application is in natural gas transmission and/or distribution systems. The regulator is also applicable to a variety of industrial processes. 

Urano's construction adopted the “top entry” concept that allows any maintenance and/or cleaning operation with no need to remove the body regulator from the line, which is a major characteristic of this configuration type beside the facility and speed of maintenance that requires just one operator and one tool. The flow, tangent to the valve seat, reduces the valve seat seal wear under high-speed flow conditions, which occur at low flow rates and high-pressure differential conditions.

Urano's interchangeable orifice provides more flexibility in adapting the regulator to the installation conditions with substitution of a single orifices. The valve seat assembly substitution by simple component fitting, allows for the fastest sealing change of this category regulators.
