As the name suggests, the pneumatic pressure regulator is used to supply a prescribed reduced outlet pressure in a pneumatic circuit and to maintain it at a constant value.

PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES

As the name suggests, the pneumatic pressure regulator is used to supply a prescribed reduced outlet pressure in a pneumatic circuit and to maintain it at a constant value. 

Usually these pneumatic pressure regulators are installed at the inlet of the each separate pneumatic circuit. Sometimes they are installed within a circuit to provide two or more different pressure levels for separate portions of the circuit.

The construction, operation, and function of a pressure regulator is already discussed in detail in Section 11.8.
