			The standard Pressure Regulator is a powered device for controlled transfer of substances between the two pipe networks. When being placed, hologram indicators will display the Input pipe arrow inward, the Output pipe arrow outward, and the power socket on its side. It has a pressure control valve, which defines the target pressure.

	~~The standard~~ Pressure Regulator will ~~pass through gases, in one direction, while~~ the pressure ~~on its output side is below~~ the ~~set value. It combines several functions:~~		Pressure Regulator will use the gas from Input pipe network to pressurize the Output pipe network until a target pressure defined by the valve setting is reached or exceeded. or the input pipe runs dry.
	* Passive check valve~~: Gas~~ is ~~never allowed to pass "~~the ~~wrong way", from output to~~ input~~, even if the Regulator is switched off or unpowered~~. ~~(It does not allow gas to pass at all when switched off or unpowered)~~		The most common use for a standard Pressure Regulator is to place one ahead of a [[Gas Tank Storage]] unit to safely fill the inserted [[Gas Canister]] or [[Gas Canister (Smart)]] with gas input without overpressurizing it. Similar principle can be used to maintain the desired pressure level in any pipe network or room.
	* Switched valve: Gas will not pass at all if the Regulator is ~~switched off or unpowered. This is~~ a ~~similar function~~ to the [[~~Pipe Digital Valve~~]].

	[[Pressure Regulator]] is used throughout [[Atmospherics]] networks to manage [[Pressure]]. Pressure Regulators comes in two variants: Standard and [[Back Pressure Regulator\|back-pressure regulators]]. They can be used to regulate the pressure between two pipe networks.
