Precise pressure control is crucial in high-sensitivity environments such as nuclear research facilities, where unstable air or gas flow can lead to system malfunction, inaccurate readings, or equipment damage. To support these stringent demands, the Z-Tide Direct Acting Pressure Reducing Valve was selected for installation due to its reliability, durability, and proven performance in demanding industrial applications.

Project Overview

• Application: Air / Gas system in a research facility in France.
• Product: 1'' SS316 Direct-Acting Pressure Reducing Valve.
• Requirement: Stable downstream pressure, corrosion-resistant materials, compact design suitable for limited installation space.

Key Features & Benefits of the Z-Tide RET Model

• SS316 Construction – Strong corrosion resistance for air/gas applications and long service life.
• Consistent Downstream Pressure – Maintains accuracy under fluctuating inlet conditions, ensuring reliable system performance.
• Compact & Easy to Install – Ideal for research environments with limited space.
• Enhanced Equipment Protection – Prevents over-pressurization and protects sensitive downstream instruments.

Project Outcome

The installation of the Z-Tide RET Direct Acting Pressure Reducing Valve improved the stability and reliability of the research center's air/gas distribution system. The valve maintained consistent outlet pressure, safeguarded sensitive equipment, and ensured accurate measurement readings even under fluctuating inlet conditions. Its SS316 construction and compact design also contributed to easier installation and reduced long-term maintenance demands.
