Pressure Data for Sizing Water Control Valves in Sabah

Control-valve selection requires inlet pressure, desired outlet pressure and flow at the same operating condition. Static pressure alone is insufficient for a valve serving a running system.

How it applies to the water system

Document minimum and maximum upstream pressures, downstream demand and shut-off conditions. Check the valve capacity data and the permitted differential pressure.

Selection and operating considerations

A large pressure reduction can introduce noise, cavitation or unstable regulation. Ask for a suitable model and operating envelope rather than matching only the pipe diameter.

Planning the requirement in Sabah

For a Kota Kinabalu building, plant room or water-transfer installation elsewhere in Sabah, send the valve nameplate and photographs of its pipework. Include the intended function, operating records and the connection standard so a replacement or new component can be reviewed properly.

Information to prepare

What should I send SWFI for this requirement in Sabah?

Send the site location, source-water information, operating flow and pressure, and the equipment model or photographs where available. SWFI is based in Kota Kinabalu and can review the requested supply or service scope against the site duty.

Discuss your water-system requirement with SWFI

Sabah Water Filter Industries (SWFI) is based in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Share your site details for equipment selection, sourcing or maintenance enquiries. The proposed model and scope depend on the actual water conditions and installation requirements.
