Spirax Sarco DP27S / DP27SY Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Valve - SG Iron Body, IBR Certified

Overview

The Spirax Sarco DP27S and DP27SY are pilot operated pressure reducing valves designed for precise downstream pressure control in steam and compressed air systems. These valves feature robust SG iron (spheroidal graphite iron) bodies conforming to DIN 1693 GGG 40.3, providing excellent mechanical strength and durability in demanding industrial environments.

The pilot operated design ensures accurate and stable pressure regulation across a wide operating range. The DP27S model covers a downstream pressure range of 0.2 to 17 bar g, suitable for general steam and compressed air applications. The DP27SY variant is optimized for sterilizer and critical low-pressure control applications, with a narrower downstream pressure range of 0.2 to 3.0 bar g using a lower rate control spring.

Both models fully comply with Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) 1950 and are available with IBR certification and manufacturer's Typical Test Report—essential documentation for boiler house installations across India.

Key Features

  • Pilot operated design for accurate, stable downstream pressure control
  • SG iron body (EN-GJS-400-18-LT) for high mechanical strength and longevity
  • Stainless steel internals (AISI 316, 321, 431, 304) for corrosion resistance
  • IBR certified – complies with Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950
  • Wide downstream pressure range: 0.2–17 bar g (DP27S) or 0.2–3 bar g (DP27SY)
  • Available in DN15LC to DN50 sizes with screwed (BSP/NPT) or flanged (ASME 150/300) connections
  • Internal strainer and pilot filter for reliable operation
  • Suitable for saturated steam, superheated steam, and compressed air (not for oxygen service)
