Abstract
A fluid pressure regulator comprises a housing defining a cylindrical chamber, an inlet opening for introducing fluid under pressure into the chamber, an outlet opening for allowing fluid to leave the chamber at a regulated pressure, and a bleed orifice in communication with a space at constant pressure. The outlet opening and the inlet opening are in open communication. A ferromagnetic piston member is fitted in the chamber and is slidable within a range of positions such that the bleed orifice is partially covered by the piston. The ferromagnetic piston member is biased at a substantially constant force when it is that range of positions.
