Maric Valves

What is a constant flow valve?

Constant flow valves generally control the flow of a fluid, in a pipe. These may be adjustable, or non-adjustable.

Some types may also be pressure compensating i.e. maintain a constant flow, regardless of pressure.

What the Maric Flow Control valve does

The Maric flow control valve is designed to deliver your required flow rate, irrespective of pressure differential*, over a wide range**.
The minimum differential required to achieve rated flow for a Precision Maric valve is 140 kPa.

*Pressure differential is difference between the inlet and outlet pressure
*Pressure differential range for Precision type Maric valves is 140 – 1000 kPa

 

Why use Maric Valves?

  • Valuable protection for flow rate sensitive pumps, filters, pump glands, and water distribution systems
  • The valves boast automatic, maintenance free, and self cleaning operation
  • The valves useful life can be up to 20 years
  • They are compact and are available in the broadest range of connection types, sizes and material types in the world

Note: Maric valves are not designed to control pressure.

How the Maric valves work

  • The Maric valves utilise a flexible rubber control ring, with an orifice diameter that responds instantly to fluctuations in water pressure
  • As pressure differential increases, the orifice diameter reduces to maintain the pre-set flow rate
  • Likewise, as pressure reduces, the orifice opens up to maintain the pre-set flow rate

These valves are particularly suitable for use on poor water quality, because the flow controlling element is a rubber material, and flexes under normal operation. This minimises the risk of blockage, and eliminates the build-up of scale.
