About Spirax Sarco Piston Valves Detail
The PV4 is a piston isolation valve that has been designed for use on steam, condensate and other liquid systems. This product fully complies with the requirements of the EU Pressure Equipment Directive/UK Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations. This product is available with certification to EN 10204 3.1.
High-Performance Design for Demanding ApplicationsSpirax Sarco piston valves boast a straight pattern single piece forged body, meticulously machined for a smooth finish. Designed for high-pressure and high-temperature steam systems, they offer exceptional reliability and corrosion resistance, making them suited for a wide spectrum of industries. The valves' metallic grey finish and compact structure enhance durability in severe service environments.
Superior Sealing TechnologyThe use of Class VI (bubble tight) leakage rating, high-integrity graphite packing, and stainless steel seats ensures extremely low leakage and long operational life. This technology delivers optimal isolation and safety for steam, condensate, and process fluid control, reducing maintenance and operational risks in industrial settings.
Convenient Maintenance and OperationHandwheel operation facilitates precise control and safe manual actuation. These valves are designed for easy in-line maintenance, allowing quick inspections and servicing without the need to remove the valve from the pipeline. This characteristic greatly minimizes downtime and increases plant productivity.
FAQ's of Spirax Sarco Piston Valves:
Q: How does the Spirax Sarco piston valve ensure leak-free operation?
A: The valve is designed with a Class VI (bubble tight) leakage rating, high integrity graphite packing, and a stainless steel seat, which together guarantee a reliable, leak-free seal even under rigorous pressure and temperature conditions.
Q: What is the recommended process for maintaining the Spirax Sarco piston valve?
A: Maintenance can be carried out in-line, meaning the valve does not need to be removed from the pipeline. Regular inspections and servicing are straightforward due to the valve's user-friendly design, which supports minimal downtime and ongoing operational reliability.
Q: When should I use a Spirax Sarco piston valve with forged carbon steel body?
A: Use this valve when you require robust isolation in high-pressure (up to 40 bar) and high-temperature (up to 425C) applications, especially with steam, condensate, or process fluids. Its corrosion resistance and durable construction make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Q: Where can these valves be installed, and what end connections are available?
A: Spirax Sarco piston valves can be installed in steam, gas, or liquid lines wherever precise isolation is required, such as in power plants, process industries, and distribution systems. End connections include screwed, flanged, and socket weld types, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of piping systems.
Q: What benefits does the handwheel operation provide for this valve?
A: The handwheel enables manual, precise, and safe operation, giving users direct control over the valve position. This helps in accurate flow regulation and quick isolation during maintenance or emergencies.
Q: How does this valve conform to safety and quality standards?
A: It is manufactured in compliance with ASME pressure standards, ensuring it meets stringent international requirements for performance, safety, and reliability in industrial applications.
Q: What is the size range and port size availability for Spirax Sarco piston valves?
A: These valves are available in a size range from DN15 to DN50, with port sizes of 15mm to 50mm (1/2" to 2"), catering to a variety of system configurations and flow requirements.
