Benefits, Functions, and Applications of "Pressure Reducing Valves" / "Pressure Regulating Valves
Pressure reducing valves, also known as pressure regulating valves, are critical devices in industrial piping systems that help control and maintain safe pressure levels, protecting equipment from damage due to overpressure. Below is a detailed analysis of the benefits, functions, and applications of pressure reducing valves.

What is a Pressure Reducing / Pressure Regulating Valve?
A pressure reducing valve (or pressure regulating valve) is a mechanical device installed in piping systems to regulate and maintain stable pressure levels. When the system pressure exceeds safe limits, the pressure reducing valve automatically lowers the pressure to protect the equipment and maintain system stability.
Functions of a Pressure Reducing Valve
- Pressure control: The primary function of the pressure reducing valve is to lower high input pressure to a lower output pressure, ensuring it meets the system's requirements.
- Equipment protection: These valves protect equipment such as pipelines, pumps, and other industrial devices from damage caused by excessive pressure.
- Pressure stabilization: They help stabilize the pressure within the system, ensuring safety for operators and preventing pressure-related incidents.
- Energy savings: Pressure reducing valves help eliminate unnecessary pressure in the system, optimizing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Benefits of Using Pressure Reducing Valves
- High safety: Pressure reducing valves ensure that the system operates within safe pressure levels, minimizing the risk of accidents or industrial incidents.
- Automatic operation: These valves operate automatically, allowing operators to manage pressure control without manual intervention.
- System protection: By maintaining safe pressure, the system experiences less wear and tear, reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of the equipment.
- High flexibility: Pressure regulating valves are versatile and can be used in various systems, from water, steam, and air systems to oil and chemical processes.
Applications of Pressure Reducing / Pressure Regulating Valves
- Water industry: Pressure regulating valves are commonly used in water supply systems to control pressure and protect pipelines and pumps from overpressure incidents.
- Steam systems: In manufacturing plants, these valves control steam pressure to ensure safety and optimize production processes.
- Compressed air systems: They are also used in compressed air systems to regulate pressure and ensure the safety of air-operated devices.
- Oil and chemical industries: Pressure reducing valves are widely applied to adjust pressure levels in oil and chemical pipelines, protecting systems from pressure fluctuations.

Polyurethane rubberUrethane Rubber Sheet (Ti-Prene Sheet) Function ・ Mechanical Strength ・ Impact Resilience ・ Abrasion Resistance ・ Ozone Resistance ・ Oil Resistance About Urethane Rubber Sheet (Ti-Prene Sheet) Rubber-like elastic bodies obtained by the reaction of polyester or polyether with isocyanate are collectively called urethane rubber. Ti-Prene® is a trademark of our urethane rubber. Features Mechanical Strength: Due to its chemical structure, it has a strong secondary bond between molecules, so it has the highest strength among elastic bodies, and because of its high modulus, it is to be less deformed and can withstand heavy loads even with small objects. Due to its high hardness and high elongation, it is to be less susceptible to damage due to impact. Abrasion Resistance: It has more than 10 times more abrasion resistance than natural rubber. It is to be superior to metal in some conditions of use. Oil Resistance: It has excellent resistance to most oils, including petroleum-based oils. Especially excellent for mineral oil (only for use at room temperature). Heat Resistance: The using limit temperature is 70 ° C. Avoid using continuously at 70 ° C or more. Cold Resistance: It has rubber elasticity and mechanical strength even at -25 ° C or less. Water Resistance: Please avoid using it in a hot and humid environment because it has the property of being easily hydrolyzed. Ozone Resistance: It is hardly affected by ozone because it does not contain unsaturated parts in its molecular structure. Weather Resistance: Please be noted that when used outdoors for a long period of time, the effects of water, humidity, light, etc. may cause deterioration of physical properties and discoloration.
