The Cla-Val is a hydraulically operated, pilot actuated
automatic control valve for pressure reducing service. The main
valve consists of only two parts: a stainless steel body, and an
elastomeric liner or control element.
Pressure reducing valves are used to lower pipeline pressure to a
predetermined set point. Cla-Val Model 790-01 automatically
controls downstream pressure, from no flow to full open flow, without
regard to changes in inlet pressure. Outlet pressure control is
smooth and precise since the friction and hysteresis of the valve
and pilot is negligible.
Because the valve will not chatter or slam under low flow conditions,
it is not necessary to parallel Cla-Val Model 790-01 with a second
smaller size control valve to obtain accurate pressure control at low
flow rates. In any size, Cla-Val Model 790-01 will control pressure
right down to shutoff.
Pressure reducing valves can be supplied as a combination with
check valve. Control systems are fully piped at the factory and the
Cla-Val Model 790-01 is shipped ready for installation.
Valve and control system shall lower line pressure to a predetermined
set point and shall maintain that set point regardless of variations in
flow or inlet pressure. Control valve shall be constructed of two
parts: a stainless steel body, and an elastomeric liner or control element.
Minimum rangeability shall be 500:1 based on capacity at flowing
pressure conditions. Cf shall be greater than or equal to 0.9. Valve
and control system shall be similar in all respects to Cla-Val Model
790-01 as manufactured by Cla-Val, Newport Beach, California.
