Tri-Clamp Sanitary Flow Control Valve
PAZZINI 900 SERIES
Application:
Manual fine adjustment used in flow control, Shut-off or divert with two or multiple ports.
Features:
• Made in SS316L / wetted surfaces
• Few moving parts, contributing to high reliability and low maintenance.
• If it is used as a Shut-off valve Slow-closing or slow-opening minimizes the water hammer.
• Seat gasket replacement in Less Than 10 minutes without removing the valve from the line and no tools required.
Materials:
• Product wetted steel parts: AISI 316L (internal Ra < 0.8 μm)
• Other parts in stainless Steel: AISI 304
• Plug gasket: EPDM
• Other product wetted seals EPDM (standard)
Technical specifications:
• Max working pressure: 145 psi (10 bar)
• Min. working pressure: Full vacuum
• Working temperature: Please see below information.

Working Principle:
The valve is operated by means of a hand wheel permitting gradual adjustment of the plug. The plug can be fixed in the adjusted position with a lock screw.
Recommended Inlet:
The seat valves are designed to close against the flow.
Slow-closing or slow-opening minimizes the water hammer.
Flow Capacity:
The flow coefficient Cv is the volume (in US gallons) of water at 60 °F that will flow per minute through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve.
VALVE SIZE (at 100% open) |
CV |
1 1/2" | 35 |
2" | 70 |
3" | 150 |
For other pressure drops than 1 psi the flow can be calculated with the following formula:
Q= Cv x √ ∆p
Where:
Q= Flow in GPM
Cv = Flow coefficient.
∆p = Pressure drop in psi over the valve.
Example:
1 1/2" valve has a Cv= 35 GPM with a pressure drop of 1 psi.
For a pressure drop of 2 psi which is the flow?
Q= 35 X √2 = 49 GPM.
