*Subject to valve body limitations.
The above curves indicate the loading pressures above the
outlet pressure require for each size class GPK, GPAK,
GPB, GPS, GPHS, GPS-1, GPHS-1, and variants for all pres-
sure differentials across the valves.
EXAMPLE: If a 3” GPB reducing valve is required to reduce
steam from 300 psig to 20 psig, 44 psig air loading is
required. This is determined as follows: Enter the chart at
280 psi pressure drop and read up to the 3” size. Read
across to 24 psi, which must be added to the outlet pressure
to determine the required loading pressure.
NOTE: Maximum diaphragm joint pressure is 300 psig.
Loading pressure (reduced pressure plus diaphragm pres-
sure above reduced pressure must not exceed 300 psig.
