Abstract:
A fluid regulator having a valve body defining an inlet, an outlet, a loading port, an access port, and a loading chamber disposed within the valve body and coupled to the loading port. A valve assembly is at least partially disposed between the inlet and the outlet and in communication with the loading chamber and is adapted to cooperate with the loading chamber to adjust fluid flow at the outlet by adjusting a fluid flow rate between the inlet and the outlet. A restrictor is at least partially disposed within the access port and the loading chamber and the valve assembly are adapted to be responsive to a change in loading pressure such that a modified rate is achieved and the restrictor is adapted to adjust a response speed in which the modified rate is achieved.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus for adjusting a flow rate into a loading chamber of a fluid regulator, the apparatus comprising:\n a restrictor adapted to be at least partially disposed in an access port and a loading fluid pathway, the restrictor comprising a screw extending along a longitudinal axis and a tapered end, the tapered end having a cross-section wherein a cross-sectional area decreases along a length of the tapered end, wherein when the restrictor is inserted into the access port and restricts the flow rate propagating through the loading fluid pathway based on an insertion depth.
