i mean , this main line goes down throw decline along 1500 mts, with 270 mts static head in the end of line, i'm adding 4 PRV , but valves like butterfly (300 psi max ope) angular and gates ( 175 lb) and flange wont support static pressure, i'm trusting PRV will sustain down 175 psi. and avoid fails. Is correct suppose this escenary?
