Regulator Sizing Tools / Model 046
Model 046 Sizing ToolBeta
High-pressure “pounds-to-pounds” field regulator for farm taps, industrial air and gas service, and gas blanketing. Available with an internal relief valve, a blocked throat, and a control-line tap for remote monitoring.
What you'll need
- Inlet pressure — psi or bar
- Outlet pressure / set point — psi, in. w.c. or bar
- Gas load or flow rate — CFH, CMH or BTUH
Optional, improves the result
- MAOP (maximum inlet pressure)
- Desired pipe size
- Over-pressure protection — internal relief valve or monitor
- Generator or high-efficiency boiler load percentage
- Gas type — natural gas, propane, or another gas by specific gravity
- Altitude above 3,000 ft
Operating envelope
| Input | Accepted range |
|---|---|
| Inlet pressure | 10 – 1,000 psi |
| Outlet pressure | 3 – 200 psi |
| Outlet vs. inlet | must be lower |
| MAOP | ≥ inlet pressure |
This is the model to use when both sides of the regulator are in pounds. Set points between 3 and 5 psi are sized at 5 psi. If your outlet needs to be in inches of water column, use the General Sizing Tool instead.

Preliminary selection only. This tool provides a starting point based on the values entered and does not account for every variable in a field installation — including inlet pressure variation, ambient temperature, elevation, piping losses, venting requirements, over-pressure protection strategy, and applicable codes. Final regulator selection, installation and setting must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with the product installation and maintenance manual and all applicable federal, state and local codes. Improper regulator selection or installation can result in over-pressurization, property damage, serious injury or death. Contact Holland Supply Company to review any selection before ordering.
