In any fluid system, maintaining optimal pressure is critical for the safety, efficiency, and longevity of the equipment. A reliable Pressure Reducing Valve is the cornerstone of such a system, automatically reducing a higher inlet pressure to a stable, lower downstream pressure, regardless of flow rate or fluctuations in upstream pressure. VMAL Pressure Reducing Valve, an expertly engineered solution designed for robust performance across a wide range of applications.
The VMAL Pressure Reducing Valve is a flanged, diaphragm-actuated valve designed for precision and durability. Its primary function is to ensure that the pressure in a pipeline remains at a desired, preset level. This is achieved through a sophisticated internal mechanism that responds dynamically to changes within the system.
Construction and Key Components
The thoughtful design and quality materials of the VMAL Pressure Reducing Valve ensure its reliable operation. The valve’s housing consists of a Cast Iron (CI) body and a Ductile Iron (DI) bonnet, providing a strong and durable enclosure for the internal components.
The core mechanism is built for endurance and precision, featuring:
- A Stainless Steel stem, spring, and nut for excellent corrosion resistance and consistent performance.
- A Carbon Steel platen.
- An EPDM diaphragm and seat, which are critical for sensing downstream pressure and actuating the valve to modulate flow effectively.
- A durable brass seat that ensures a reliable sealing surface.
For fine-tuning and control, the valve is equipped with a brass Pilot Valve, Needle Valve, and Ball Valve. It also includes ports for two pressure gauges (15 and 16) to allow for easy monitoring of both upstream and downstream pressure.
