Control Valve minimum body size
Control Valve minimum body size
(OP)
Hi,
In many specifications of refineries (Oil&Gas), the minimum body size of Control Valves specified as 1 in and 300# class regardless of Pipe size and specification. Could anyone give me an explanation.
I am trying to replace a 1/2" pressure regulator with a control valve therefore I am thinking of using 1/2" body control valve and 150# flange (deviating from normal practice).
Thanks.
