CONTROL DEVICES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CONTROL DEVICES from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in CONTROL DEVICES soft seat pneumatic safety valves?
CONTROL DEVICES soft seat pneumatic safety valves, such as the SB75-0A150, use a brass body with a silicone seat. The silicone material provides a conformable sealing surface that reduces leakage at lower pressures compared to hard seat designs. These valves are suitable for air and inert gas applications where tight shutoff is required. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments.
What is the difference between hard seat and soft seat CONTROL DEVICES safety valves?
Hard seat CONTROL DEVICES safety valves, like the SN50-1A100, use metal-to-metal sealing between the disc and seat, typically brass or stainless steel. They are more resistant to high temperatures and particulate contamination but may have higher leakage rates. Soft seat valves, such as the SB75-0A150, incorporate a silicone or elastomeric insert that provides a tighter seal at lower pressures, making them preferable for applications where minimal leakage is critical.
Are CONTROL DEVICES check valves available for in-tank mounting?
Yes, CONTROL DEVICES offers in-tank check valves, such as the P3850-1EP. This model features a 3/8 in FPT inlet and 1/2 in MPT outlet, with a brass body rated to 450 psi maximum pressure. It is designed for installation directly into compressor tanks or receiver vessels to prevent backflow of compressed air. The in-line check valve M2525-1WA is also available for pipe mounting.
What is the preset pressure range for CONTROL DEVICES hard seat safety valves?
CONTROL DEVICES hard seat safety valves are available with preset settings from 100 psi to 225 psi, depending on the model. For example, the SA12-1A225 is preset to 225 psi with a 1/8 in (M)NPT inlet, while the SA25-1A125 is preset to 125 psi with a 1/4 in (M)NPT inlet. These valves are factory-set and not field-adjustable, ensuring compliance with system pressure limits.
Can CONTROL DEVICES throttle controls be used with engines other than Honda?
The CONTROL DEVICES pneumatic driven compressor throttle control TC63-4KA000 is specifically designed for gas engine driven compressors and is listed as compatible with a Honda 5.5 hp engine with a 5/8 in stroke. For other engine models, you would need to verify the stroke length and mounting interface. 3G Electric can assist in cross-referencing specifications for alternative engines.
