Metering & Regulating Valves

Flocon stocks a multitude of Metering, Regulating and Pressure Reducing Valves to suit almost any application.

Options and configurations include single and double acting, pressure compensated flow control, as well as products suitable for high loads, pressures and high working temperatures.

Metering Valves.

A metering valve controls the flow of a fluid or gas in a pipeline by adjusting the amount and pressure that passes through. Metering valves be used in a variety of applications:

• Can be installed in the middle of pipelines to precisely control the flow of fluids or gases. 
• Can be used to make fine adjustments to control flow in low, medium, or high pressure and flow applications. 

Metering valves can be made from a variety of materials, including brass, bronze, cast iron, copper, and stainless steel.

Regulating Valves.

Balancing and regulating valves control fluid flow and ensure optimal system performance. Materials commonly used for these valves include brass, cast iron, and stainless steel, each offering unique properties and advantages.

The optimal material for regulating valves depends on the specific application requirements, including the fluid type, operating conditions, and environmental factors.

• Brass: A cost-effective choice for residential and light commercial applications where moderate corrosion resistance is sufficient. Balances cost and performance, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
• Cast Iron: A robust and cost-effective choice for large-scale, non-corrosive fluid applications.
• Steel: A premium, corrosion-resistant material ideal for demanding applications, especially in harsh, moisture-rich, or chemically exposed environments. While initially more costly, it offers long-term durability and reduced maintenance needs.

Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs).

A pressure reducing valve helps to regulate water pressure on pipeline systems. We offer a range of pressure reducing valves (PRVs) designed to regulate water pressure in various applications, maintaining a constant outlet pressure, even when inlet pressure fluctuates. This prevents excessive water pressure, which can damage pipes and fittings and negatively impact the performance.
