BuTech Low Pressure Valves are designed for liquid and gas flow control in petroleum, chemical, power generating and general industrial applications.
Available in a variety of body styles, the valves are designed for operation at temperatures ranging from 0 to 650 F.
Their rugged construction provides assurance of fail-safe operation at pressures ranging to 15,000 PSI (1030 bar).
Note: BuTech Pressure Systems does not recommend compression sleeve connections below 0°F (-18°C) or above 650°F (343°C).
Materials of Construction
Standard materials of construction include 316 cold-worked stainless steel, 17-4PH, Ampco 45, and glass-filled PTFE. All BuTech equipment may also be produced in any machinable metal. Some of the more common exotic materials used are:
- Hastelloy™
- Inconel™
- Titanium
- Monel 400™
Tube Sizes: 1/8" through 1/2" ; Pressures to 15,000 PSI (1030 bar) ; Type: L/P Single Ferrule Compression
