The Series 400 modulating valve, with nonflowing
pilot, incorporates an advanced
design in pilot operated valves. Under process
conditions, both pilot and main valve can be
tight to as high as 98 percent of set pressure.
The main valve lifts proportionally according
to required flow (relief demand), restricting
product loss to only the mass required to be
relieved to prevent process pressure from
exceeding the code allowance.
Well suited for gas and/or liquid services,
including dirty and/or wet services. The
modulating action is strongly preferred for
liquid relief because it minimzes the
destructive effects of "liquid hammer".
Available with effective orifice areas of 0.110 to
63.50 in² [0.710 to 409.7 cm²] valve inlet sizes
1" to 10" [25 to 254 mm], set pressure
between 15 and 1480 psig [1.03 and 102.0
barg], and continuous service temperatures
from -65°F to +600°F [-54°C to +315°C].
