With the movement to higher pressures and temperatures, Gilmore, a Control Devices company, was challenged to engineer a PR2 Check Valve with maximum allowable working pressure of 20k and temperature range from 0oF to 250oF for specific customer applications. The valve needed to withstand the extremes of high and low pressures while preventing backflow.
“Gilmore’s poppet design underwent the rigorous testing prescribed in API Standard 6A, 21st Edition, 2018 Annex F, PR2 Design Validation Test.” stated David Nemetz, CEO. “This test is specifically designed for components which will be commissioned in remote and hostile environments, providing absolute confidence that the component can withstand the most arduous environments throughout the product’s lifecycle.”
Significant engineering enhancements included in the new valve include: improved antirotation pin design to replace weldment for improved serviceability; an Elgiloy spring for robust and precise reliability; Stellite poppet and Inconel seal ring to form a precise metal-to-metal seal; and a compact envelope design for installation where space is at a minimum.
Gilmore specializes in the design and manufacture of severe service flow control solutions across multiple energy markets. The company has been innovating through collaboration with clients for over 60 years in the development of new adaptable and modular technologies that meet or exceed customer expectations and industry requirements.
Gilmore’s headquarters and manufacturing facility are in Houston, Texas, with an established distribution partner network that supports global regional markets.
