PRESSURE AND FLOW

Reading upstream and downstream conditions

Reading upstream and downstream conditions

Line pressure alone is insufficient. For proper regulation and blowdown, measure the differential pressure across the equipment as well as flow rate fluctuations.

TEMPERATURE AND CYCLING

Describe the Actual Service Scope

Describe the Actual Service Scope

Please specify the normal operating temperature, design extremes, and start-up or shutdown phases. Materials and sealing components are validated to reliably perform within this operating envelope.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Verify Integration

Verify Integration

Diameter, end connections, face-to-face dimensions, and actuator access: a replacement reference must seamlessly integrate into your existing installation.

APPLICATIONS

Four networks. Distinct technical requirements.

Steam Distribution

Steam Distribution

Define the inlet and outlet pressures as well as the required flow rates. Pressure reduction and temperature regulation are two distinct functions.

Transfer Heat

Transfer Heat

A fluctuating load alters operating conditions. Proper sizing requires evaluating the minimum, normal, and maximum operating points.

Drain condensate

Drain condensate

Enter the condensate load, outlet pressure, and lift. The available differential pressure determines the discharge capacity.

Functional schematic of a steam system. Layout, protection systems, and sizing must be customized to suit each specific facility.

Control and Isolation

Modulating flow, reducing pressure, or isolating media: the specific function dictates the optimal valve technology. Be sure to also specify the control power source and the required fail-safe position upon loss of power.

Steam Traps and Condensate Return

Compare blowdown and drain technologies based on the application, start-up and operating loads, and available differential pressure.

Overpressure Protection

For relief and safety valve applications, please provide the process fluid, required discharge capacity, set pressure, operating temperature, and backpressure. Proper valve sizing and applicable code requirements are rigorously verified for the specific equipment being protected.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT & GUIDANCE

Replace without recurring issues.

Replace without recurring issues.

An abnormal noise, fluctuating temperature, or recurring leak alone is not enough to pinpoint the correct solution. Provide your part number and operating conditions so our technical team can deliver a fully documented, reliable valve and seal selection.

Please specify the quantity, required delivery date, and delivery location. Availability and lead times are subject to confirmation based on the part number.
