Pressure Reducing Valve

South American Valve is one of the top Pressure Reducing Valve Supplier in Brazil. A pressure reducing valve is a type of control valve that is used to reduce the pressure of a fluid or gas flowing through a pipeline to a lower, more manageable level. The valve operates by restricting the flow of fluid or gas, which reduces the pressure downstream of the valve.

Pressure reducing valves are used in a variety of applications, such as in water distribution systems, where high-pressure water must be reduced to a lower pressure for use in homes and businesses, or in gas pipelines, where high-pressure gas must be reduced to a lower pressure before being distributed to end users.

Difference between pressure reducing valve and pressure regulator

• Function: Pressure reducing valves are specifically designed to reduce the pressure of a fluid or gas from a higher upstream pressure to a lower downstream pressure. They are typically used in applications where the downstream pressure needs to be maintained at a constant level. Pressure regulators, on the other hand, are designed to maintain a constant pressure regardless of changes in upstream or downstream pressure.
• Operation: Pressure reducing valves operate by restricting the flow of fluid or gas to reduce the pressure downstream of the valve. Pressure regulators, on the other hand, typically use a sensing element, such as a diaphragm or piston, to sense changes in pressure and adjust the valve position accordingly to maintain a constant pressure.
• Pressure range: Pressure reducing valves are typically designed to handle higher upstream pressures than pressure regulators. They are commonly used in applications where the upstream pressure may exceed several hundred psi. Pressure regulators, on the other hand, are typically used in applications where the upstream pressure is relatively low, often in the range of a few psi up to a few hundred psi.
• Applications: Pressure reducing valves are commonly used in applications where a constant downstream pressure is critical, such as in water distribution systems, gas pipelines, and industrial processes. Pressure regulators are used in a wide range of applications, including compressed air systems, pneumatic tools, and gas appliances.
