Self-operated pressure regulating valve

产品概览

The Self-operated Pressure Regulating Valve is a reliable and cost-effective solution for precise pressure control in pipelines without the need for external power sources. Utilizing the energy of the process fluid, it automatically adjusts to maintain set pressure levels, making it ideal for applications in steam systems, gas distribution, and liquid process lines. Its simple design ensures low maintenance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.

应用

Steam Systems: Pressure reduction in steam mains and boiler feed lines.
Gas Distribution: Pressure control in natural gas pipelines and LPG systems.
Water Treatment: Pump discharge pressure regulation and tank level control.
Chemical Processing: Precise pressure management for corrosive media.
