How to use the chart

Capacities are given in cubic decimetres of free air per second (dm3/s). The use of the capacity chart can be best explained by an example.

Required, a valve to pass 100 dm3/s of free air reducing from 12 bar to 8 bar.

Find the point at which the curved 12 bar upstream pressure line crosses the horizontal 8 bar downstream pressure line. A perpendicular

dropped from this point shows that whereas a DN15LC valve will only pass 57 dm3/s and is therefore not large enough, a DN15 valve will

pass approximately 120 dm3/s under these conditions and is the correct valve size to choose.

Safety information, installation and maintenance

For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-P100-05 for the DP27G and DP27GY, or IM-P470-03 for the DP27E,

DP27R and DP27Y) supplied with the product.

Installation note:

The pilot operated pressure reducing valve should be installed in a horizontal pipeline, protected by a strainer and a separator, with the

direction of flow as indicated by the arrow on the valve body.

How to order example:

1 off Spirax Sarco DN32 DP27 pilot operated pressure reducing valve having a 0.2 - 17 bar spring and flanged EN 1092 PN25 connections.
