Looking for a steam pressure control valve
(OP)
We need to isolate and control the pressure of 1500 psig saturated steam supplied to sootblowers in a boiler. Up stream is 1500 psig, saturated with downstream controlled at approximately 380 psig, no desuperheating. Present arrangement is a fully open/close automatic isolating valve with a pressure control valve just downstream. We have poor experience with the isolating valve leaking after a couple of months. What suggestions do you have for a tight shutoff isolating valve that opens with 1500 psig upstream and atmospheric p[ressure downstream?

If not one of below valvetypes is suitable for your on/off application you might be able to find other types in the Gestra (Flowserve) valve selection.

A sonic slug of condensate does verrrrry bad things to a control valve, and the balancing mechanism cannot cope with transient conditions such as that. There were a lot of omega-shaped buckled valve stems related with that phenomenon.
