Sizing by pipe diameter alone is not enough. Please specify the application, start-up and operating condensate loads, upstream and downstream pressures, and any vertical lift. This operational data enables our technical team to accurately evaluate the appropriate technologies and required capacities.
POWER AND UTILITIES
Whether for steam, condensate, hot water, or thermal oil, VAMECA is your trusted partner across Quebec for the selection, replacement, and supply of industrial valves and sealing solutions.

PRESSURE AND FLOW
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
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
Diameter, end connections, face-to-face dimensions, and actuator access: a replacement reference must seamlessly integrate into your existing installation.
Define the inlet and outlet pressures as well as the required flow rates. Pressure reduction and temperature regulation are two distinct functions.
A fluctuating load alters operating conditions. Proper sizing requires evaluating the minimum, normal, and maximum operating points.
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.
Fluid and Piping Systems
Fluid type, exact oil specification if applicable, and system piping schematic.
Operating Conditions
Upstream and downstream pressures, normal and maximum operating temperatures.
Load and Control
Minimum, normal, and maximum flow rates, condensate load, as well as available signal and power supply.
Installation and Replacement
Nameplate photo, diameter/size, end connections, face-to-face dimensions, and observed issue.
