Genuinely interested (not trying for a gotcha!) in understanding how this device meets the intent of R82.
It means it's a relieving valve, if you were to set it to 60psi and one of your cylinders that is extended is then compressed by an external force that would increase the system pressure downstream of the regulator to > 60psi this regulator will exhaust pressure maintaining the system at 60psi downstream from it.
