Note: This line will illustrate the
minimum operating temperature not
the minimum design temperature.
Pressure bar g
Is the maximum design temperature the body of the product
can be raised to permanently, at a given pressure.
Is the maximum design pressure that the combined body
and end connections of the product can withstand at a
given temperature. It is a function of the PN rating and body
design / material.
Is a prohibited area and the product must not be used in this
region and will be worded:
The product must not be used in this region.
The steam saturation curve is added (where relevant) to
enable users to easily find the specific operating points,
e.g. 10 bar g saturated steam @ 185 °C, 10 bar g steam
with 20 °C superheat or 10 bar g / 250 °C steam.
Control valve Technical Information sheets (TIs) for products in pressurised systems contain a 'Pressure / temperature limits' diagram.
This diagram indicates the envelope of the product(s) at the full range of pressures and temperatures. The construction of the
'Pressure / temperature limits' diagram is shown below.
Note: A table 'Definition of technical terms used for control valves' and a typical example (no specific product) is displayed overleaf.
