Documented models
The cited COSPECT route names COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21. [S4]
Published integrated components
The cited COSPECT range is described with a built-in strainer, separator and steam trap. [S5]

Evidence scope

The retained official product route documents: TLV documents COSPECT pressure reducing valves for process steam with an integral strainer, separator and steam trap. This dossier uses that cited route as the editorial scope. [S10]

The retained research coverage separates company identity from the named product evidence. It does not turn one model or series into a claim about unlisted company-wide operations. [S12]

Pressure Reducing Valve

Documented series: COSPECT process-steam pressure reducing valves: COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21.

TLV documents COSPECT pressure reducing valves for process steam with an integral strainer, separator and steam trap. [S10]

Documented specifications for Pressure Reducing Valve
Pressure rating0.01 MPa [S13]
Materialstainless steel [S14]
Documented models
The cited COSPECT route names COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21. [S4]
Published integrated components
The cited COSPECT range is described with a built-in strainer, separator and steam trap. [S5]
  • COSPECT process-steam pressure reducing valves: COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21. [S6]

Selection fit: Start with COSPECT when a process-steam pressure reducing valve with the cited integral strainer, separator and steam trap is under comparison. Confirm model, pressure, temperature, capacity and final configuration with TLV. [S11]

Steam Separator

Documented series: DC3S cyclone steam separator with an integrated trap

TLV lists the DC3S cyclone steam separator with a built-in trap. [S7]

  • DC3S cyclone steam separator with an integrated trap [S7]
  • Y3, YF and YDF Y-Strainers: Y3 stainless steel 15–50 mm screwed; YF cast iron 15–350 mm flanged; YDF ductile iron 15–250 mm flanged [S8]

Selection fit: TLV states that the DC3S combines a built-in trap with company-stated 98% separation efficiency and is useful where installation space is limited. Confirm steam conditions, sizing, connections, availability and lead time directly with TLV. [S15]

Steam Trap

Documented series: JX Free Float steam traps for process use.

TLV documents JX Free Float steam traps for process use. [S18]

Documented specifications for Steam Trap
Service temperature100 °C [S23]
Published duty
The cited JX Free Float family is scoped to process use and steam-using equipment across varying condensate loads. [S19]
Published J3X limits
The cited J3X row lists 2.1 MPaG maximum operating pressure and 220°C maximum operating temperature. [S20]
  • JX Free Float steam traps for process use. [S9]

Selection fit: Use the JX family for process steam-trap comparisons with varying condensate loads, then confirm the selected J3X pressure, temperature and capacity with TLV. [S21]

Procurement fit

Start COSPECT comparisons with the COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21 when a process-steam pressure reducing valve with the cited integral strainer, separator and steam trap is under evaluation. For separation, TLV positions the DC3S as combining a built-in trap with company-stated 98% separation efficiency where installation space is limited. Use the JX Free Float family for process steam-trap comparisons across varying condensate loads. Confirm selected model, steam conditions, sizing, connections, availability and lead time directly with TLV. Hazardous-fluid suitability for the cited Y-shaped strainers is not publicly documented.

Technical capabilities

The COSPECT process-steam pressure reducing valve series, comprising models COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21, is documented in stainless steel with a built-in strainer, separator and steam trap as integrated components. The DC3S is documented as a stainless steel cyclone steam separator with an integrated trap. The J3X row of the JX Free Float family is documented with 2.1 MPaG maximum operating pressure and 220°C maximum operating temperature. Detailed pressure, temperature and capacity tables by individual model, mesh ratings and dimensional data are not publicly documented in the cited source set.

Markets and applications

Documented applications focus on process steam service. The COSPECT pressure reducing valve range, comprising models COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21, is cited for process-steam duty where the integrated strainer, separator and steam trap arrangement applies. The DC3S cyclone steam separator is cited for use where installation space is constrained. The JX Free Float family is documented for process steam traps and steam-using equipment across varying condensate loads. Industry verticals, reference installations and named end users are not publicly documented.

Evidence limitations

Country (Japan) and city (Kakogawa, Hyogo) are documented. Materials of construction are stated as stainless steel. The 98% separation efficiency figure for the DC3S is attributed to TLV as stated. The J3X maximum operating pressure of 2.1 MPaG and maximum operating temperature of 220°C are documented. Certifications, approvals, full model-by-model pressure, temperature and capacity tables, mesh specifications, hazardous-fluid suitability, dimensional drawings and lead time are not publicly documented.

Editorial summary

TLV Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based manufacturer located in Kakogawa, Hyogo, with documented product coverage in three industrial categories. The first is pressure reducing valves, represented by the COSPECT process-steam pressure reducing valve range. The second is steam separation, covered by the DC3S cyclone steam separator with an integrated trap. The third is steam traps, represented by the JX Free Float family for process use.

Frequently asked questions

What Pressure Reducing Valve product is documented for TLV Co., Ltd.?

The retained product material names COSPECT process-steam pressure reducing valves: COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21. The dossier keeps this as a product-level statement rather than using it as a claim about the company's entire catalogue. [S6]

Which documented models should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: The cited COSPECT route names COS-3, COS-16 and COS-21. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S4]

Which published integrated components should a buyer compare?

The cited product material records: The cited COSPECT range is described with a built-in strainer, separator and steam trap. Use the value as a product-level comparison point, while keeping the exact model and installation boundaries in the cited route. [S5]

Which common buying fields are not published in the retained sources?

The retained source packet does not publish Annual sales, Production capacity, Certifications, Availability or stock. Those fields are intentionally left out of the procurement snapshot rather than inferred from a related series, a product image or the company identity. [S12]

Research notes

The retained first-party packet supports a richer product-level reading surface, but it does not yet contain 600 words of distinct cited content. This noindex dossier remains in reviewing status until additional source-backed facts are retained.
