Gilmore unveils reliable check valve solution for subsea and other demanding applications
Diana Aoun | November 05, 2024The new Gilmore PR2 20k Check Valve is engineered for high-performance applications, particularly in subsea environments and chemical injection systems. This valve stands out due to its robust design and adherence to stringent industry standards, specifically API Standard 6A, 21st Edition, 2018 Annex F, ensuring reliability and safety in demanding conditions.
One of the main features of the PR2 20k Check Valve is its innovative poppet design. The valve incorporates an improved anti-rotation pin design that enhances serviceability, making maintenance easier and more efficient. Additionally, the use of high-quality materials such as Elgiloy for the spring, Stellite for the poppet, and Inconel for the seal ring ensures a precise metal-to-metal seal, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion.
The valve is designed to operate under extreme conditions, with a maximum allowable working pressure of 20,000 psi and a temperature range from -18° C to 121° C (0° F to 250° F). Its proven valve flow coefficient (Cv) of 2.0, as per IS S75.02, guarantees optimal flow performance, making it suitable for various applications.
Furthermore, the compact envelope of the PR2 20k Check Valve allows for installation in space-constrained environments, making it a versatile choice. With its combination of advanced engineering, high-quality materials, and compliance with industry standards, the Gilmore PR2 20k Check Valve is a reliable solution for ensuring efficient and safe operations in critical applications.
