PD8100 Series

PD8100 Series Pulsation Dampener

The PD8100 Series eliminates pointer flutter on pressure indicating gage devices which are subject to pulsating pressure from reciprocating pumps or compressors. It also allows a close setting of high and low contact points providing for more accurate pressure indication and control of equipment.
The PD8100 Series decreases wear on geared movements and increases the life of pressure indicating instruments by eliminating excessive gage strain and unnecessary movement, a necessity which quickly pays for itself by protecting any pressure indicating and control instrument which is subject to pulsation.
PD8100 SERIES IS NOT FOR USE ON OXYGEN OR LIQUID OXYGEN APPLICATIONS.
The PD8100 is quality built with a large diameter valve stem wheel for ease of adjustment and features clearly printed operating instructions.
Machined from 1 3/8-inch (35 mm) hex bar stock, a two degree taper on the valve and stem assure positive dampening.
It’s available in brass, carbon steel, 303 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel to meet pressure and environmental requirements with either 1/2 NPT or 1/4 NPT inlet connections.
