Engineered Control Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: SchuF has over 60 years of experience in manufacturing engineered control valves for industries such as chemical, petrochemical, refining, mining, and power. Their valves are designed for critical service applications and come in various configurations, including angle and in-line bodies.
Specifications: SchuF offers a diverse range of control valves, including high-pressure and high-temperature let-down valves, boiler feed, and startup valves. These valves are made from materials like stainless steel, high nickel alloys, titanium, and zirconium, with options for special surface coatings and trims made from tungsten carbide and ceramics.
Innovations: SchuF has developed a proprietary Cv calculation program that can handle three-phase flow and high-viscosity, non-Newtonian fluids. Their patented x3 bell curve provides enhanced controllability compared to traditional linear or equal percentage characteristics.
Applications: SchuF valves are used in applications such as let-down, level and flow control, three-way mixing, and distributive control. They are suitable for industries like PTA, polymers, coal and heavy oil upgrading, gasification, and liquefaction.
Valve Types and Features: SchuF offers various valve types, including pressure and level control valves, multistage let-down valves, and high-pressure angle valves. Features include single or multi-stage trims, pneumatic diaphragm actuators, and options for hydraulic and electric actuators.
Technical Details: Valve sizes range from 1/2" to 36", with ratings from Class 150 to 2500# ASME. Materials include WCB, WC6, WC9, Cr-Mo Steel, and various stainless steels and alloys. The valves are designed to meet specific inlet temperatures and pressures according to ASME B16.34 standards.
Flow Coefficients and Characteristics: SchuF provides detailed calculations for required Cv values for liquids, gases, and steam, considering factors like cavitation and choked flow. Flow characteristics include linear, equal percentage, x3, or bell curve, with flow direction options for opening or closing.
Contact Information: SchuF has a global presence with offices in the USA, Germany, Ireland, India, and Brazil. Contact details for each location are available for customer inquiries and support.

Features The trim is single or multi-stage, with flow toopen or close. On/off, hollow piston and cagetrim are also available.SchuFs strengths include flexibility of designand construction. We have produced controlvalves in all stainless steels, high Nickelalloys, Titanium and Zirkonium as well asPTFE and glass linings. SchuF uses special surface coatings and multiple spindle guidingto improve the resistance against vibrationsand erosion. SchuF also offers solid TungstenCarbide and Ceramic trims. Most control valves come equipped withpneumatic diaphragm actuators (available ina fire-safe version)...

Originally designed for PTA 3 phase slurry service thesevalves open into the downstream vessel to eliminatechoking and cavitation. The accelerating body design prevents in bodyē flashing, the single piece disc andspindle with spindle protector stops metal fatigue andspindle bending. The valves are used in multi-stagereactor or crystalliser arrangements to control the levelor pressure in the upstream unit. Optinal electrohydraulic actuators (below) eliminate stickingand hunting. > If piping considerations prohibit a disc opening valve,the 74CS offers a disc which opens into the valve. Theeffects...

SchuF supplies many in-line control valves featuring stuffing box orbellows seal, mostly with special materials or trim such as one with anoise reducing cage. The drawback of a globe control valveis the low capacity and high pressureresistance. The ball type control valveshave a limited life due to the ballsrotation wearing out the seal and needlarge actuators to overcome the high torques. The y-globe valveҒs flowcharacteristics come close to those ofa ball valve, and allow the use ofsmaller valves compared to a globevalve.Its proven metal to metal seat quarantees a longer leak tight sealingperformance...

Steam Conditioning Valve, 74DU > Steam control valves control the pressure andtemperature of steam. Steam is generated at highpressures and temperatures to ensure high turbineefficiencies. The movement of the main stem regulates the pressure, the addition of water through the stemdesuperheats the steam. The further the valve opensthe greater the product throughput and the morecooling water is added. Waste Heat Recovery Valve > This valve is a full bore 3-way steam mixingvalve. Hot flue gas from the melting furnacesare used to turn water into steam by boilers.Steam from these waste heat recovery...

Monomer Feed Valve > Disc control valves are used to regulatethe level in PVC reactors. For PET, PBTetc, control valves are used to regulatethe flow into the esterification andpolymerisation reactors. For vacuumservice, bellows are generally used. As they are susceptible to failure in acrystallising and polymerisingenvironment, SchuF recommendsexternal bellows. In these applications,weld-lip gaskets can further enhance the vacuum safety of the system. Polymer Additives Injection Valve > These valves were developed to allow continuous polymer plantsproducing, for example PET, to customise their...
