Universal
media safety
valve for
liquid and gas
applications
Dresser Consolidated has launched
the new 1900 universal media pressure
relief valve, to meet demand for a
pressure-reducing valve certified for
both liquid and gas, while requiring no
adjustments.
Users can operate the 1900 universal
media valve on either liquid or gas at the
same set pressure without making any
adjustments, making it highly flexible.
Because of its efficient blowdown the
1900 universal media valve returns
processes back to normal operating
pressure very quickly while minimising
the amount of process media released
from the system. The valve builds
on the proven Dresser Consolidated
1900 safety relief valve to more easily
accommodate process changes.
“A major challenge for our customers
is ensuring that they have equipment
and components that integrate well
for maximum flexibility, precision and
efficiency,” said Joshua Scott, global
director of product management
for Dresser Consolidated. “The new
1900 universal media valve offers our
customers a complete solution through
its ability to transition between multiple
media types with no adjustment to the
set pressure.”
The 1900 universal media pressure relief
valve offers improved performance and
simplifies maintenance needs for the
end user.
Other benefits of the valve include
reduced noise (less noise when popping
on gas), and decreased customer
inventory, as it reduces the level of
needed inventory for multiple valves by
being interchangeable between liquid
and gas.
