The high structural integrity, large interior flow passageways and large capacity bowl accommodate an extensive variety of trim designs, while allowing maximum recovery within the valve.
Combining a massive amount of body and bonnet material with thick cross-sectional areas ensures that the SD-1000 valve can withstand the most severe conditions.
Applications for which the SD-1000 valve is suitable include: pump recirculation, feedwater control, feedwater start-up, flashing or cavitating service and any potentially noisy or vibration-prone service.
It is also widely used for nuclear "N" stamp and seismic applications.
Copes-Vulcan offers the valve in a range of sizes between 20 and 500mm and ASME pressure classes from 150 to 4500 standard.
However, large sizes can be supplied where applications demand.
However, in designing the SD-1000, Copes-Vulcan have not overlooked the matter of that all-important sub-assembly, namely the trim.
SD series valves can be fitted with an extensive array of standard and high performance trims.
The Company's Raven, Hush, Soft-Seated Hush, Tandem and GAD are readily available, and where circumstances demand, custom engineered trims can be supplied.
Offering a quick disconnect between valve stem and actuator yoke to simplify service and inspection, the SD-1000 is fast becoming the industry standard for severe duties and critical conditions.
