Introduction to Pitambara Engineering Spring Loaded, Diaphragm Type, and Pilot Type Valves

Pitambara Engineering offers a range of advanced Spring Loaded, Diaphragm Type, and Pilot Type valves designed to provide reliable pressure control and system protection across various industries. These valves are essential components for managing pressure within pipelines, tanks, and vessels, ensuring the safety and efficiency of industrial systems. Whether it’s regulating pressure, protecting equipment from overpressure, or controlling fluid flow, these valves play a vital role in maintaining smooth operations.

Spring Loaded Valve

The Spring Loaded Valve is a pressure relief valve that uses a spring to apply force against the pressure in the system. When the system pressure exceeds the set point, the spring compresses and allows the valve to open, thereby relieving excess pressure. Once the pressure drops back to normal levels, the spring forces the valve back to a closed position, restoring the system to its operational state.

  • Key Features:
    • Reliable and simple design
    • Adjustable pressure setting
    • Fast response to pressure fluctuations
    • Suitable for systems with varying pressures
  • Applications:
    • Typically used in high-pressure systems where pressure relief is required to protect downstream equipment from overpressure conditions. They are commonly found in industrial applications such as steam systems, gas pipelines, and process control systems.

Diaphragm Type Valve

The Diaphragm Type Valve is a type of pressure relief valve that uses a diaphragm to control the opening and closing of the valve. The diaphragm is a flexible membrane that responds to the pressure exerted on it. As pressure rises, the diaphragm deforms, opening the valve to relieve the excess pressure. When the pressure decreases, the diaphragm returns to its original shape, closing the valve.

  • Key Features:
    • Precise and sensitive pressure control
    • Suitable for handling liquids and gases
    • Minimal wear and tear due to the diaphragm design
    • Can be used for both low and high-pressure applications
  • Applications:
    • These valves are widely used in applications requiring high accuracy and reliability, such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and water treatment systems.

Pilot Type Valve

The Pilot Type Valve operates through a pilot mechanism that controls the main valve’s opening and closing action. The pilot valve senses the system pressure and, based on the pressure reading, either opens or closes the main valve to maintain the desired pressure level. The pilot valve typically responds to pressure changes more precisely than direct-acting valves and is ideal for large or complex systems.

  • Key Features:
    • High precision in pressure regulation
    • Suitable for large capacity systems
    • Reliable performance in both gas and liquid systems
    • Offers fine control over pressure settings
  • Applications:
    • Pilot type valves are often used in large industrial systems, such as steam boilers, air compressor systems, and natural gas pipelines, where precise and consistent pressure control is critical for system efficiency and safety.

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
  • Simple
  • Low Maintenance
  • Economical Measurement Solution
  • Easy Mounting
  • Assured Level Indication without power supply
