Solutions for hygienic applications and corrosive environments
August 2003
Valves, Actuators & Pump Control
Dupleix Liquid Meters (DLM) is offering the Bailey range of stainless steel pressure reducing and safety relief valves suitable for hygienic service and corrosive environments, clean steam and industrial gas applications. Manufactured by Safety Systems UK, the stainless steel valve range includes the G4 pressure reducing valve and models 490, 716 and 746 safety relief valves, all available in a wide range of sizes and connections.
One of the major benefits of stainless steel is its resistance to corrosion, making it a popular material in the arduous chemical, petrochemical and refining processes. This high resistance to corrosion coupled with its hygienic properties makes stainless steel particularly suited for applications involving clean steam, which is used for sterilisation and de-contamination in hospitals, pharmaceutical production and the food and beverage industry. The malleability of stainless steel has resulted in it being widely used in low temperature applications.
The G4 Series of pilot operated pressure reducing valves provides accurate pressure regulation for steam, clean steam, air and in industrial gas applications. This is accomplished with a sensitive pilot that continuously monitors both inlet and outlet pressures, simultaneously. The result is a constant outlet pressure, irrespective of erratic inlet pressure or systems demand.
DLM offers a comprehensive, technologically advanced range of products sourced from leading manufacturers, providing optimum solutions in a wide range of industries. DLM has seven branches countrywide: Cape Town, East London, Pinetown, Rustenburg, Welkom, Vereeniging and its headquarters are in Longmeadow, just outside Johannesburg. These branches offer full technical support and are able to review any customer's applications, offering tailored solutions.
