Steam control valve

A steam control valve is a service-category identity for steam modulation; its title does not establish a globe body, trim, or pressure class. Steam service can introduce pressure-drop, velocity, noise, erosion, and condensate considerations. Sizing, materials, body type, actuator, and any noise treatment must be selected for the actual upstream and downstream conditions.

Application and duty

Steam flow or pressure regulation with an assembly sized for actual process conditions

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Continuous modulation of flow, pressure, temperature or level with the required flow characteristic

Control-valve selection requires capacity sizing plus cavitation, flashing, noise, velocity and rangeability checks; line size alone does not determine valve size.
