Weight Loaded Pressure Reducing Valve

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
Connection sizes range from DN 50 to 400, with nominal pressures between PN 16 and 40. The inlet pressure can reach up to 40 bar, while the outlet pressure ranges from 0.5 to 10 bar. The Kvs-Value varies from 32 to 1200 m3/h, and the valves can handle temperatures up to 280°C. They are suitable for liquids, gases, and steam.
Description
The DM 3 and DM 4 are medium-controlled, weight-loaded pressure reducing valves designed for medium to large volumes. They operate without auxiliary energy, using a weighted lever and a control piston to maintain constant outlet pressure. The valves are available in single (DM 3) and twin seat (DM 4) configurations, with options for soft or hard seals. They comply with VDI/VDE Guideline 2174 for leakage rates.
Materials
For temperatures up to 80°C, the body is made of spherodial cast iron or cast steel, with internals of chromium steel or CrNiMo-steel. For temperatures up to 280°C, the body is cast steel. Valve seals and O-rings are available in various materials including NBR, FPM, EPDM, PTFE, FXM, and FFKM.
Dimensions
Dimensions vary based on nominal diameter and whether the outlet is standard or enlarged. Reference dimensions C and D indicate the potential projection of the weighted lever beyond the valve outlet flange.
Installation Recommendations
Installation should include a strainer, shut-off valves, pressure gauge, sense line, and safety valves. The sense line connection should be 10-20 times the DN behind the valve.
Options and Notes
Various seal materials are available to suit different media. Special versions can be requested. Operating instructions and safety guidelines must be followed. Mankenberg reserves the right to modify specifications without notice.

Weight Loaded Pressure Reducing Valve-1

Pressure Control Valves Pressure Reducing Valves DM 3, 4 MANKENBERG GmbH | Spenglerstraße 99 | D-23556 Lübeck Weight Loaded Pressure Reducing Valve Technical Data Connection DN Nominal Pressure PN Inlet Pressure Outlet Pressure Kvs-Value Temperature Medium Description Medium-controlled pressure reducers are simple control valves offering accurate control while being easy to install and maintain. They control the pressure downstream of the valve without requiring pneumatic or electrical control elements. The DM 3 and DM 4 pressure reducers are medium-controlled weighted-lever valves for medium to large volumes. These valves require no auxiliary energy. Thanks to their integral control characteristics they are very accurate. The time reponse is set by means of an oil-filled damper. DM 3 is a single seat, DM 4 a twin seat valve; both are piston-controlled. The valves can be supplied with soft or hard seals. The valve seat leakage meets the VDI/VDE Guideline 2174. When the pipeline is depressurised the valve cone is kept in open position by the weighted lever. As the outlet pressure rises a control piston is pressurised via a pilot line, lifting the lever and moving the valve cone towards the „closed“ position. During normal operation the opening force of the weight and the closing force of the piston balance each other and the pressure reducer operates continually. The outlet pressure is kept constant irrespective of inlet pressure and flow volume. The control pressure is set by changing the weight on the lever. The maximum outlet pressure must not exceed 1.5 times the set pressure, unless specified otherwise. In the case of toxic or hazardous media a leakage line must be installed to the control unit capable of draining leaking medium safely and without pressure if the control element should become defective. These valves are no shut-off elements ensuring a tight closing of the valve. In accordance with the VDI/VDE guideline 2174 a leakage rate of 0.05 percent (DM 3) respectively 0.5 percent (DM 4) of the constant volume flow is permitted for the valve in closed position. The valves requires a sense line (to be installed on-site).
