Flowrox Control Valves

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Flowrox control valves are engineered for challenging control applications where traditional valves face wear issues due to increased turbulence. These valves can be enhanced with conical sleeves or smart positioners to improve controllability and wear resistance.

Specifications
Flowrox valves are designed according to the international IEC60534 standard, harmonized with ANSI/ISA S75 standards. The valve flow coefficient (Cv) determines the valve's flow capacity and size. The optimal control range is between 10-50% of valve opening.

Valve Sizing and Selection
The sizing of Flowrox control valves is based on process conditions, including flow rate, slurry specific gravity, and pressure drop across the valve. The Cv value is calculated using these parameters, ensuring the valve is appropriately sized and selected for the application.

Customer Benefits
  • Cost-effective and reliable operation
  • Predictive maintenance capabilities
  • Optimized equipment for specific processes


Actuator Options
Flowrox offers various actuator options:
  • Pneumatic Actuators: Electro-pneumatic (AK) with 4-20 mA input signal and HART Communication, Pneumatic (AN) with 0.2-1 bar input signal
  • Hydraulic Actuators: Electro-hydraulic (HP) with 4-20 mA input signal
  • Electric Actuators: Electronic (EO) with 4-20 mA input signal


Quality and Standards
Flowrox pinch valves received the ISO9001:2000 Quality Certificate in 1997 and comply with the ANSI/ISA Pinch valve standard ANSI/ISA 75.10.02.

Flowrox Control Valves-1

Flowrox Control Valves For Demanding Duties Flowrox control valves are designed for demanding control applications in which conventional valves encounter problems with wear due to increased turbulence. Controllability can be further improved with conical sleeves (reduced ported for the exact Cv required) or smart positioners. Elastic sleeves have been applied for improved wear resistance. Each valve can be sized and optimized for the optimal control range, to limit wear and velocity and also to prevent cavitation from occurring in the control valve. Flowrox control valve sizing is based on international IEC60534 standard (harmonized with ANSI/ISA S75 standards). The valve flow coefficient Cv defines the control valve flow capacity i.e. the valve size (diameter). The optimal control range of the Flowrox valve is between 10-50 % of opening. We offer the accurate control and the longest service life time in the most demanding slurries. Flowrox control valve sizing program is available to ease your work. Control valve’s flow coefficient Cv – and thus the valve size – is a result of process conditions. Q = Flow rate (m3/h) G = Specific gravity (-) ∆p = Pressure drop over the valve (bar) N1 = Numerical constant (SI or US units) FP = Piping geometry factor (-) FR = Reynolds number factor (-) Control valve sizing and selection is result from process conditions. Namely, flow rate range, slurry specific gravity (s.g.) and pressure difference over the valve defines the valve flow coefficient range (Cv), for which a control valve is sized and selected.
