Thru 1 a combination hot water automatic balancing valve ball valve check valve and double. For a demonstration of the flow control valve in action click here. Automatic control valves are used in commercial and industrial applications to control water flow or pressure. The uma comes standard with two pressure and temperature test plugs and a universal actuator mounting bracket.

We offer automatic control valves that are used to ensure uninterrupted water service during emergencies maintain a constant liquid level in tanks automatically reduce a higher upstream water pressure to a constant downstream pressure and for other purposes. These methods can be used to develop accurate valve sizes however during the course of plant design control valves are often sized based on a future maximum design process load. Control valve sizing procedures are based on accepted mathematical methods such as those detailed in isa 75 01 01 2007 flow equations for sizing control valves.

Automatic control valves include pressure reducing valves flow control valves back pressure sustaining valves altitude valves and relief valves. Automatic flow limiting valves do not require any additional balancing as do. 8908 governors row dallas texas 75247 usa. 0 33 gpm 8 00 gpm.

Our space saving automatic balancing valves for instance are easy and quick to install and can help reduce pump energy consumption by as much as 10 they also help minimise maintenance costs by reducing the time it takes to achieve optimal system balancing as well as ensuring they benefit from tamper proof features that help to optimise flow control for the life of the installation. These fluctuations in pressure within a given pressure differential control range do not change the flow through the valve therefore the flow is controlled to within 5 of the designed flow.

An altitude valve controls the level of a tank. The altitude valve will remain open while the tank is not full and will close when the tanks reaches its maximum level.
