PASAFE™ Series Pulsation Dampeners
AVAILABLE IN THREE FLOW THROUGH DESIGNS:
• R-PASAFE
• C-PASAFE
• S-PASAFE
The PASAFE* series of discharge dampeners and suction stabilizers
are the newest addition to the pulsation and surge control product line.
PASAFE pulsation control units reduce hydraulic pulsation caused
by the flow variation of positive displacement pumps as well as the
higher frequency acceleration pulses generated by the valve action
and fill efficiency of the pump. The result is smoother fluid flow with
less wear on pump parts and fluid ends; reduced piping vibration and
reduced pump room noise.
PASAFE units are virtually maintenance free and are engineered to
operate in the toughest environments that handle abrasive, corrosive,
high temperature and high pressure fluid. The PASAFE provides trou-
ble free service in oil well drilling, slurry pipelines, deep direct lift mine
dewatering, chemical processing, water purification and high pressure
water cleaning.
Capacities range from 1/4 to 600 gallons, and pressure ratings from
75 to 15,000 psi. Manufactured, tested and ‘U’ stamped in accor-
dance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Units are available
in carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex stainless steel, or HDPE. Other
materials are available for special applications.

R-PASAFE™ DAMPENERS FOR
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Reactive R-PASAFE dampeners utilize the liquid volume within the
unit to dampen pulsations. These units are available for both discharge
and suction applications. They are truly maintenance free because they
use no elastomers and require no nitrogen precharge or adjustment.
• Ideal for high temperature or chemical applications that would cause
compatibility problems with elastomers
• Designed to maintain a constant pulsation level across the pump’s
entire operating pressure range. No adjustments are necessary
when the pump discharge pressure is increased or decreased
