Atlas Dominates!
The servo-driven VSI Atlas severe service control valve accurately controls choked flow conditions with high capacity and extended rangeability. Incorporating VSI actuation technology, the unique, ideal flow path ( like a jet engine) is maintained throughout the full range of operation. The result is a cavitation damage resistant, precision control valve suitable for high pressure drop, erosive fluid flow. Atlas is proven and preferred for the rigorous service of flow control on test benches for oilfield electric submersible pumps.

Why Atlas?
Fluid flow past the plug of a conventional linear-stroking globe control valve is not consistent around the annulus between the plug and orifice. Why? Two 90-degree direction changes introduce chaos to the flow as the fluid seeks its path of least resistance through the valve. The result: vibration induced wear to the internal components and cavitation damage to the flow path surfaces that restrict flow.

Flow Lab Tests Complete – Performance Confirmed
/in UncategorizedThe final round of lab testing wrapped up this week. Flow test data gathered at the Radford Company valve test facility confirmed predictions of CFD simulations made prior to the launch of VSI. Maximum Flow Coefficient was measured to be 75 in turbulent flow. The HBGV1 was confirmed to have negligible pressure recovery in the valve and an effective […]
