Fluid regulators are described. An example fluid regulator described herein includes a regulator body defining a sensing chamber between an inlet and an outlet, a bonnet coupled to the regulator body, the bonnet defining a loading chamber, the loading chamber being fluidly isolated from the sensing chamber and an environment surrounding the fluid regulator, a guide disposed between the sensing chamber and the loading chamber, the guide defining a vent flow path, the vent flow path to enable the sensing chamber to vent to the environment during a failure condition of the fluid regulator, a transverse bore defined between an interior surface of the regulator body and an exterior surface of the regulator body, the transverse bore being aligned with the vent flow path to enable fluid communication between the transverse bore, the vent flow path, and the environment surrounding the fluid regulator, the exterior surface of the regulator body defining a groove that is partially defined by the transverse bore, and a filter to be disposed in the groove to cover an outlet of the transverse bore.

Regulators having an isolated loading chamber and blowout prevention apparatus

In-line back pressure fluid regulators are described. An example in-line fluid regulator includes a regulator body defining a sensing chamber and an outlet of a fluid flow path of the fluid regulator. The outlet is in fluid communication with the sensing chamber via a first flow passageway in the regulator body. A bonnet is coupled to the regulator body and defines an inlet of the fluid flow path and a loading chamber disposed between the sensing chamber and the inlet. The loading chamber is substantially sealed relative to the fluid flow path of the fluid regulator. A pressure sensor is disposed between the inlet and the sensing chamber, where the pressure sensor defines a second flow passageway to fluidly couple the inlet and the sensing chamber.

In-line back pressure fluid regulators

Fluid regulators are described. An example regulator includes a regulator body defining a sensing chamber between an inlet and an outlet of a fluid flow passageway of the fluid regulator. A bonnet is coupled to the regulator body and defines a loading chamber disposed adjacent the sensing chamber. The loading chamber is substantially sealed relative to the sensing chamber and an environment surrounding the fluid regulator. A sensor guide is disposed between the sensing chamber and the loading chamber and has at least one seal to fluidly isolate the loading chamber from the sensing chamber. The sensor guide has a vent flow path between the sensing chamber and the loading chamber to vent the sensing chamber during a failure condition of the at least one seal.
