FAQ

 

Q: What are the specific advantages of the different angular configurations (45°, 90°, 135°)?

A: Each angular configuration serves specific purposes:

45°: Optimal for minimal pressure drop and smooth flow transition, ideal for pump bypass and recirculation systems

90°: Standard for most directional change applications with balanced performance characteristics

135°: Specialized for wide-angle distribution requirements and specific piping layout constraints

Q: How does the Y-type design handle high-pressure applications compared to conventional valves?

A:The Y-type design provides a more gradual flow path that significantly reduces turbulence and flow-induced vibrations. This results in lower stress concentrations, reduced erosion potential, and improved longevity in high-pressure services, particularly in large diameter applications up to DN400.

Q: What size range is available and what are the pressure limitations at larger sizes?

A: We offer comprehensive sizing from DN15 (½") to DN400 (16"). Pressure ratings are maintained consistently across the entire size range, with Class 1500 capability available up to DN300 and Class 600 for DN400 applications. Specific pressure-temperature ratings are provided for each size and configuration.

Q: Can these large-size valves be automated, and what actuation options are available?

A: Yes, all valves including the largest DN400 size can be automated. We provide heavy-duty pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators specifically designed for large-size, high-pressure applications. Our engineering team offers complete actuation packages with mounting systems and control accessories.

Q: What materials and coatings are available for corrosive or abrasive service in large diameters?

A: We offer complete material customization including:

Corrosion-resistant alloys for aggressive chemical services

Hard-faced trim and coatings for abrasive applications

Specialized internal coatings for large diameter valves

Full material traceability and certification for all components
