OVERVIEW

CX-RV26 Pneumatic System Rending

The CX-RV2.6 pneumatic choke is available with an integrated control system requiring only pneumatic air supply to function. This solution greatly exceeds the reliability, repeatability and longevity of many conventional manually operated relief valve designs to offer substantial value and performance benefits over the life cycle of equipment. This system is rated up to 10,000 PSI and features a choke orifice size of 2.6”.

CORTEC’s custom engineered instrumentation solution (patent pending) provides a precise trip setting repeatability within 1% of full range. System relief cycles occur within 250 milliseconds of measured pressure events. Instrument adjustments provide field friendly capability to modify the desired trip setting within the following ranges:

  • 1,000-3,000 PSI
  • 2,000-5,000 PSI
