Abstract:
A fluid regulator includes a regulator body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid flow path, with a portion of the regulator body forming a first chamber, an orifice disposed in the fluid flow path, a seat, and a control element disposed within the fluid flow path and shiftable between an open position spaced away from the seat and a closed position seated against the seat, with the control element arranged to respond to fluid pressure changes to control flow of a process fluid through the orifice. A diaphragm has a radially inner portion that is operatively coupled to the control element and a radially outer portion that is operatively coupled to the regulator body. The diaphragm includes a resilient redundant diaphragm sandwiched between two metal diaphragms, the diaphragm providing two separate seals.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid regulator comprising:\n a regulator body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid flow path; an orifice disposed in the fluid flow path and leading to a seat; a control element disposed within the fluid flow path and shiftable between an open position spaced away from the seat and a closed position seated against the seat, the control element being arranged to respond to fluid pressure changes to control flow of a process fluid through the orifice; an actuator attached to the regulator body, the actuator being operatively coupled to the control element and arranged to respond to fluid pressure changes to move the control element between the open position and the closed position to control flow of the process fluid through the orifice; and wherein the control element is operatively coupled to a first diaphragm, to a second diaphragm, and to a third diaphragm, the first, second, and third diaphragms being stacked upon one another, the first and third diaphragms comprising metal, and the second diaphragm comprising a resilient material, the second diaphragm being disposed between the first and third diaphragms.
