The Industrial Valve Operations of Eresser Industries, Inc.

designs, manufactures, and tests ,1. lot operated relief valves and ASME code safety valves. .r e calves are ider.tified under the trademarks " Ele c t ro:  : tic" .ty te s 31533vx-30, 1533D, 1538VX, and type 1525VX) and " ?.. r. s c l i ?. a t e d " { type 31700).

These valves were designed and et.- in accordance with purchaser specifications which .G r.t i fied r ate ra ted s team as the only flow media. The valves are not designed f or, r.c r tested on, any other flow conditions. As a result, the Industrial Valve Operations of Dresser Indus tries , Inc.
