Valves fulfil demanding role
May 1st 2008 Parker Instrumentation's new ball
and needle instrumentation valves
are optimised for high pressure
fluid control applications operating
at up to 20 000 PSI/1379 bar.
Available configured with Parker's
high-pressure Phastite tube
connector ends, which offer high
levels of performance in vibration
environments, the valves satisfy the
higher pressure hydraulic control
and other demanding instrumentation
applications increasingly faced in
the offshore oil and gas sector.
The 20K Hi-Pro ball valve and
20K H-series needle valve, are
made from 316 stainless steel as
standard, and offered in NACE
(corrosion) compliant and HCT
(heat code traceable) versions.
Available with 1/4, 3/8 or 9/16
inch, or 6, 8, 10 and 12mm tube
connections, the valves' 6 mm
bore sizes provide maximum flow
rates (Cv) of 0.66 for the needle
version, and 1.56 for the ball valve.
The 20K Hi-Pro ball valve uses
a two-piece construction, reducing
potential leak paths. More articles from Parker Hannifin Ltd: |
