New Swagelok modular platform components make it easy to develop and assemble complete process analyzer and sample-handling systems using an ANSI/ISA 76.00.02* - compliant miniature modular design.
Two New Lines of Instrumentation Tubing
New Swagelok insulated tubing, a cost-effective alternative to field-installed insulation of small diameter process lines, reduces heat loss helps protect personnel from hot process and steam lines.
Existing applications include the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, power and other general industrial markets and further applications are expected from laboratory analysis and in pilot plant facilities operating at high temperatures and from industries whose operations face wide ranges of temperature fluctuations.
Features of the new valve include, a single-piece, patent-pending encapsulated packing design and live-loaded packing system that reduce the need for packing adjustment and improve thermal cycle performance.
Constructed of modified PTFE, the single-piece, packing does not require system pressure to seal, reduces potential leak points, and allows bi-directional flow.
Choose from 2-way straight or angle pattern valves for on-off service or 3-way valves for switching service with end connections in sizes from 1/16 to 3/8 in.
and 3 to 8 mm.
The 40G valve series accommodates a wide range of handles and actuators.
Choose from lightweight, compact Swagelok rack and pinion pneumatic actuators; ISO 5211-compliant rack and pinion pneumatic actuators; or Swagelok electric actuators, available in alternating and direct-current modes.
