🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic operation of a spring‑loaded pressure reducing valve (how outlet pressure is controlled) • Role of the diaphragm in sensing pressure and moving the valve plug • Difference between inlet (high) pressure and outlet (reduced) pressure in self‑operated regulators

💭 Think About

• In a self‑contained reducing valve, what force must oppose the main spring so the valve can automatically hold a set downstream pressure? • Looking at the illustration, which part of the valve is physically in contact with the controlled (reduced) pressure, and how does that force get transmitted to the moving parts? • Why wouldn’t the high‑pressure inlet side be used directly to balance the spring in a valve designed to maintain a constant reduced pressure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which cavity in the drawing connects to the downstream (reduced) side of the line and see what element (diaphragm or spring) is exposed to it. • Confirm which component actually moves against the main spring when outlet pressure rises. • Eliminate any option that depends on an external signal or separate pilot valve, since this drawing shows a simple direct‑acting regulator.
