These simple, practical, long-lasting devices reduce gas or liquid pressure through a series of multi-stage pressure reductions. As a result, there is virtually no part erosion. With gas applications, noise is significantly reduced because orifices on each stage are sized to keep the flow of the gas below critical velocity.
Whisperjets are available in ASME pressure classes through 4500#, in sizes from 1/2" up, with socket weld or butt weld end connections. Depending on the application, standard materials are Carbon Steel A105, Chromalloy SA 182-F22, F91. 316 and 347 Stainless Steel and other alloys are available upon request.

The Rationale Behind Valve Characteristics
Back in the “early days,” we were taught that, to properly control flow, we should select a linear valve characteristic when the valve controls more than 25% of the piping system pressure drop at full flow.

The Mighty Steam Trap
The steam trap is the device primarily responsible for automatic discharge of condensate from steam systems. It’s the same today as it was in the early days.
