Aqua Environment Co. Inc. manufactures reducing regulators that are designed and tested to meet ASME standards. This certificate provides details on the materials used in the Aqua Environment 873-400 Reducing Regulator. It lists the part numbers, materials, and certification that the production processes are subjected to rigorous quality control testing. The valve is tested under pressures between 2000 and 5000 psi to ensure it regulates downstream pressure properly, vents or does not vent gas as required, has minimal droop under dynamic flow, and has no external or internal leaks.

The following tests are performed: 1. The valve must regulate downstream pressure as per its rated range. 2. The valve must vent or not vent downstream gas as per the valve being tested. 3. Valve is checked for excessive droop of downstream pressure when changing from static to dynamic flow. 4. Valve is checked for leakage, external and internal.
