CAVITATION CONCERNS



Pressure reducing valves are, by their application, subject to pressure differentials that may induce cavitation. Often when these conditions exist, it may be only on an intermittent basis, causing minimum concern for valve deterioration.

Charts that index only inlet and outlet pressures cannot accurately predict this complex phenomenon. The easiest way to predict cavitation is to let us do the calculation. Simply fax, e-mail or call us and we will provide a graphical analysis and a solution, often simpler and less costly than the classic one: that of using two valves in series.

 


Provide us:
  1. VALVE SIZE
  2. FLOW RANGE - Minimum - Maximum
  3. FLUID VAPOR PRESSURE (if other than water)
  4. INLET PRESSURE - OUTLET PRESSURE
  5. FLUID
