Pressure regulating valves failure rate
Pressure regulating valves failure rate
(OP)
On what media do air sets or pressure regulating valves fail more i.e. compressible or non-compressible media?
Would a self venting air set fail at a lower rate than a non venting air set?
Would a self venting air set fail at a lower rate than a non venting air set?

Venting regulators can be exposed to contamination from the downstream system so that would make them more prone to failure.
But, venting type regulators can still function even with a failure while non-venting will not be able to control downstream pressure in the event of a failure.

Apart from all this, TugboatEng has given you a sencible answer.
