This page explains how Pressure Reducing Valve is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A valve that automatically reduces a higher inlet pressure to a steady lower outlet pressure regardless of flow variations.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Pressure Reducing Valve
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Diameter | 15–100 mm | Standard sizes for pipe connections |
| Outlet Pressure Range | 0.05–1.0 MPa | Adjustable within this range |
| Flow Capacity (Cv) | 2.5–100 Cv | Corresponds to DN 15–100 |
| Pressure Accuracy | ±5 % | Of set outlet pressure |
| Operating Temperature | -10–80 °C | For standard seals; high-temp options available |
| Seal Material | EPDM | Resistant to water and many chemicals |
| Body Material | WCB | Carbon steel for general serviceASTM A216 |
| Weight | 2.5–35 kg | Depends on size and pressure rating |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Inlet: up to 25 bar (standard), 40 bar (high-pressure models); Outlet: adjustable typically 0.5-10 bar |
| flow rate: | 0.5 to 100 m³/h depending on valve size and pressure drop |
| temperature: | -20°C to 120°C (standard elastomers), up to 200°C with high-temp materials |
| slurry concentration: | Not recommended for slurries >5% solids by weight; clean liquids preferred |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to the directory data, the operating pressure range is 1.0 to 1.6 MPa. However, you must verify the exact range for your specific model and application with the manufacturer or supplier.
The valve body can be made of stainless steel, cast iron, or bronze, with a common body material being WCB (carbon steel) per ASTM A216. The standard seal material is EPDM, which is resistant to water and many chemicals. High-temperature seal options may be available, but confirm with the manufacturer.
The valve uses a diaphragm or piston to sense downstream pressure. This sensing element modulates a spring-loaded main valve. If downstream pressure rises above the set point, the valve partially closes; if it drops, the valve opens. This automatic adjustment maintains a steady outlet pressure despite flow variations.
The nominal diameter and operating pressure are. The body material WCB is per ASTM A216. These standards are for verification and procurement reference; they do not guarantee certification or compliance of a specific product. Always check with the manufacturer for applicable standards and certifications.
