Manfaat dan Keunggulan Utama
-
High-Capacity Multi-Purpose Performance: The MR108 is built to manage high flow rates while maintaining precise pressure control. It is equally effective in liquid lubrication circuits as it is in high-volume gas headers.
-
Critical Speed of Response: Because the sensing element acts directly on the valve plug without the delay of a pilot system, the MR108 reacts immediately to upstream pressure changes. This is vital for protecting pumps from dead-heading or managing surges in process lines.
-
Reliable in Dirty Service: The robust internal architecture is designed to function even when the process fluid contains impurities. This makes it more reliable than pilot-operated valves in applications like wellhead gas or recycled cooling water.
-
API 614 Compliance: Steel and Stainless Steel constructions are available that specifically meet API 614 requirements. This makes the MR108 a standard component for lubrication, shaft-sealing, and control-oil systems in the oil and power industries.
-
Sour Gas Capability: To ensure safety in hazardous environments, the MR108 can be specified in constructions that meet NACE MR0175 and MR0103 standards for H2S service.
-
Pressure-Loaded Actuator: For applications requiring remote setpoint adjustment or differential pressure control, the actuator can be pressure-loaded with an external gas source rather than relying solely on spring tension.
-
High Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Capable of managing pressures up to 400 psig (27.6 bar) and temperatures up to 250°F (121°C), the MR108 is suitable for demanding industrial utility headers.
-
Maintenance Features: Standard units include a drain valve for easy cleaning and a visual travel indicator for in-service performance monitoring. High-pressure versions also include a bleed valve for safe depressurization.

Bidang Aplikasi
The MR108 is an industrial workhorse found wherever upstream pressure stability is non-negotiable, particularly in high-speed rotating equipment.
Industri Primer dan Pemanfaatannya:
-
Lube Oil Systems: Maintaining constant oil header pressure for large turbines, compressors, and pumps in refineries and power plants.
-
Pump Bypass: Releasing excess flow to the suction side of a pump to prevent over-pressurization during low-demand periods.
-
Gas Gathering: Managing backpressure on separators and wellhead equipment in upstream oil and gas production.
-
Industrial Cooling Loops: Controlling the pressure of cooling water or heat transfer fluids across industrial heat exchangers.
