Copes-Vulcan SD Series Severe Duty Control Valves

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Copes-Vulcan SPX severe duty control valves are designed to handle the most demanding applications in power generation, chemical processing, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and other heavy industrial processes. Available in a broad range of sizes from 3⁄4 to 20 inches, these rugged globe and angle style valves utilize high strength cast steel construction to control high pressure steam, liquids, gases, and slurries.

With over 100 years of experience manufacturing severe service valves, Copes-Vulcan leads the industry in innovative valve technologies and trims optimized for noise attenuation, cavitation protection, flashing, and high pressure drops. Custom engineering ensures the perfect valve configuration for your specific pressure, flow rate, temperature, and media conditions.
