Description
3-Inch V-80 Preset Valve for LC Flow meters (V-Series Piston Valve)
Precise Flow Control with Hydraulic Shock Prevention
The 3-inch V-80 Preset Valve is a mechanically operated piston valve specifically designed for installation on the outlet of LC Positive Displacement Flow meters. Engineered for reliable fluid shut-off under various system pressures, this valve can be manually operated or mechanically linked to a preset counter on the meter, enabling single or two-stage shutdown to effectively eliminate hydraulic shock (water hammer). Its robust design and flexible configuration make it an ideal solution for precise batching and transfer applications.
Key Features
-
Two-Stage Shutdown: When connected to a preset counter, the valve performs a smooth two-stage closing sequence. The initial rapid closure to a low flow rate followed by final complete shutoff prevents pressure surges, protecting pipeline integrity and equipment.
-
Multi-Directional Installation: The valve outlet can be indexed in 90° increments, allowing installation with the outlet facing up, down, or to the sides, providing exceptional flexibility for compact or complex piping layouts.
-
Material Options: Available in Aluminum, Hard-Anodized Aluminum, Cast Iron, and Stainless Steel to accommodate different fluid compatibilities (including fuels, chemicals, lubricants) and pressure requirements.
-
Broad Compatibility: The V-80 model (3-inch) is designed to work seamlessly with SM15, M15, and M25 series LC flow meters, ensuring optimal system integration and performance.
-
Reliable Sealing: Equipped with FKM or PTFE seals, suitable for service with fluid classes 1, 2, and 16.
