understood clearly. Please pay special attention to all safety information.
This sign is used in this instruction is in case of hazards which might results in injuries and damages.
2.0 INTENDED USE
Barksdale's pressure regulators are sensitive, pressure-control devices used to maintain a pre-determined
pressure in a hydraulic circuit. The regulated output pressure is controlled by adjusting the spring force by air
or hydraulic motor or manually to balance the hydraulic loading. Design features ensure excellent accuracy,
repeatability and high flow coefficients. This regulator works on Shear-Seal® technology which uses fluid
pressure to maintain a leak-free metal to metal seal.
3.0 PED COMPLIANCE
To ensure that products intended for Europe meet the requirements of PED, it is necessary to determine the
proper PED classification. In the PED, pressure equipment can be classified one of the following categories.
• SEP (Sound Engineering Practice)
• Category I, II, III or IV
3.1 CAT I Products
This product falls under “CAT I” category as per PED directive
97/23/EC and it must be designed and
manufactured with “category I engineering practice” as defined by the PED. CAT I classified products can be
self-certified by CE declaration without any external body.
3.2 Product Classification
Use the Table1 below to find the PED category of a specific product. Due to PED Classification limitations,
some products may not be available at full rated pressures. Be sure to check the PED Product Classification
table for any limitations.
