Case Study: Establishing a Dynamic Testing Facility for Large-Size Valves - 'Kfar Baruch' site
Large-diameter control valves are essential components in municipal water systems and key water supply infrastructure, such as dams, reservoirs, and large-scale irrigation networks. These control valves are designed with specific features that enable them to handle substantial water flow, making them essential for efficient water distribution and

How Does a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Work?
Function of a Pressure Reducing Valve
Designed to withstand even the toughest environments, the pressure reducing valve (or PRV) is a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valve that reduces higher upstream pressure to lower constant downstream pressure—regardless of the fluctuating demand or the varying upstream force. Essentially, the valve maintains a steady state of pressure downstream, heedless of flow.

BERMAD’s 700 SIGMA Valve with Superior Cavitation Resistance Allows the Supply of Water in Extreme Working Conditions
Cavitation, which can damage delivery networks, is a given in all water supply systems. However, it is a particular concern in Australia where water supplies are already limited. In systems with inadequate pressure controls, cavitation can lead to significant damage, including pipe bursts, and ultimately a pipe burst if pressure is not properly controlled.
