HOUMA, Louisiana – Cortec has launched the CX-RV2.6 pneumatic pressure relief system.
The system, API 6A PSL 3 monogrammable and comprised of SIL 3 rated components, is designed to provide rapid pressure relief within high-pressure systems, including mud pumps, managed pressure drilling manifolds and frac relief systems. The valve requires 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum air supply to function.
Mike Chauvin, manager of controls and automation, Cortec, said: “This new, simple design offers precise control and repeatability over hundreds or even thousands of pressure tripping events. We have proven this design through extensive validation over thousands of pressure cycles, with consistent tripping results within 1% or less of the pressure set point.”
