2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   In a no pressure situation, where water could flow backwards, it won't be impeded. A water pressure regulating valve does not function as a check valve. [citation needed] [clarification needed] They are used in applications where the water pressure is too high at the end of the line to avoid damage to appliances or pipes.

3. Mechanism of diving regulators - Wikipedia

   A cracking pressure adjustment knob can be seen at the left side of the valve mechanism. Screwing it in increases the pre-load on the valve spring and increases the pressure difference required to pull the diaphragm in enough to open the valve.

4. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

   A scuba regulator first stage has one or two high pressure ports upstream of all pressure-reducing valves to monitor the gas pressure remaining in the diving cylinder, provided that the valve is open. The standard connection is an O-ring sealed 7/16" UNF inside thread. [1] There are several types of pressure gauge.

5. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them.

6. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

   A reduced pressure zone device (RPZD, RPZ, or RPZ valve) is a type of backflow prevention device used to protect water supplies from contamination. RPZDs may also be known as reduced pressure principle (RP), reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices, [1] [2] reduced pressure zone assemblies (RPZA), [3] or reduced pressure principle ...

7. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

   Hydronic balancing, also called hydraulic balancing, is the process of optimizing the distribution of water in a building's hydronic heating or cooling system by equalizing the system pressure. In a balanced system every radiator is set to receive the proper amount of fluid in order to provide the intended indoor climate at optimum energy ...
