High Capacity Volume Booster Relays fact sheet
Booster Relays For Fast Stroking Speed Applications
Product Description
The Masoneilan BR200 and BR400 instruments are high capacity volume boosters for applications that require fast stroking speeds
using pneumatic actuators. Stable operation over a wide range of actuator sizes can be obtained by adjusting the bypass valve on the
booster to modify the dynamic response. The models BR200 and BR400 are equally suitable for use on diaphragm or piston actuators.
Features and Benefits

• Short stroking times with consistently stable operation for use on high-volume actuators or on very demanding stroking time
control valve applications
• Flow characteristics suitable for control valves
• Built-in bypass valve with locking screw to adjust sensitivity and dynamic response
• Filters on both the supply and signal pressure ports to protect instrument from particles’ in air supply
• Corrosion resistant finish and stainless assembly hardware to permit use in corrosive atmosphere

Numbering System
Maximum Cv (Supply): 1.2

BR200 Maximum Cv (Exhaust): 1.2
Maximum Cv (Supply): 2.6

BR400 Maximum Cv (Exhaust): 2.4
Principle of Operation
The input signal pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm to produce a force that is opposed in a 1:1 ratio by the output pressure
acting on the lower diaphragm through the seal plate orifice. An increase in the input signal pressure will depress the top diaphragm
and open the pilot valve, allowing supply pressure to the output until the output pressure action on the lower diaphragm re-balances
the forces. Conversely, a decrease in the input signal pressure allows the exhaust valve to open until the output pressure falls to the
same value as the input signal pressure.
A bypass valve allows a controlled flow of input signal direct to the output to obtain stable control for small or slow changing input signals.
