Badger Meter has launched its Hp-60 ultra-high-pressure control valves that are suitable for offshore oil and gas control applications with upstream pressures of up to 60,000psi. The type HP-60 control valve utilises a 17-4 PH body along with a solid Stellite inner valve assembly.
It is also suitable for use in industrial research and process pilot plants on liquids and gases, with typical applications being chemical injection, for example in the production of high-pressure, low-density polyethylene (HPLDPE).
The inner valve (plug and seat) is constructed from solid Stellite, while titanium nitride-coated Stellite is available as an option. Standard packing is Torlon/PFA CV rings.
For lower pressures up to 350 bar, the standard RC200 valve in 316 stainless steel is available with a larger range of trims. All the valves can be supplied with standard (air-to-open, air-fail-close, air-to-close, air-fail-open) actuators. However, actuators in stainless steel with integral top-mounted positioner or side-mounted positioner are also available. Accessories such as filter regulators, gauges, I/P converters, limit switches and solenoids are offered.
