With its Copes-Vulcan brand, Celeros Flow Technology has been providing control valves and desuperheaters for the power, process and nuclear industries since 1903. Copes-Vulcan provides a wide range of valves for the control of pressure, temperature and flow-induced noise in all types of power plants. Products include severe service and general service control valves, variable orifice desuperheaters, Raven™, trim and steamconditioning valves and nuclear control valves, as well as custom designed specialty valves. The Copes-Vulcan brand is recognized worldwide as a leader in valves for severe and critical service applications. Our strength lies in our ability to provide innovative valve solutions for our customers’ application needs.
The SD-Severe Duty valve is Celeros’s premium severe duty and critical service control valve design. The SD-Severe Duty line is the next generation of control valves designed specifically for severe duty applications. It is the preferred style of valve for applications such as pump recirculation, feedwater control and feedwater start-up, flashing or cavitating service, critical pressure drop gas and steam service, and any potentially noisy or vibration-prone service. It is also widely used for nuclear “N” stamp and seismic applications.
The SD-Severe Duty line incorporates a number of improvements such as: Quick disconnect between valve stem and actuator yoke on most models that greatly simplifies service and inspection.An extensive array of standard trims is available including many previously offered only as custom designs. Shorter lead times/quicker delivery of both entire valve assemblies and replacement parts. Improvements such as these, coupled with Celeros’s innovative yet sound engineering practices, and a reputation for building the best control valves possible, assures that the SD Severe Duty line is destined to become the new industry standard for severe duty and critical service applications.
For applications requiring pressure classes of 600 and below refer to Copes-Vulcan’s GS Series valves.
