Pressure control valves comprise all spring-actuated valves which feature the required specific procedural parameters such as inlet or outlet pressures or differential pressures, flow rates or other setpoints.
1. Pressure Reducing Valves
Pressure reducing valves reduce a high and frequently fluctuating pressure to an adjustable constant pressure downstream of the valve. A spring keeps the valve open and this closes as the outlet pressure rises.
Overflow valves control an adjustable constant pressure upstream of the valve. A spring keeps the valve close. As the inlet pressure rises the valve opens.
Safety valves are the ultimate protection device for tanks and pipelines. They prevent pressure limits being exceeded once all automatic control and monitoring equipment has failed.
