Pipefittings offer highest leak integrity
Boiswood, the specialist distributors of components for gas and liquid control, are now supplying the Flowmeca range of RHP metal-to-metal pipefittings.
Both features minimise the significant impact that chemical leaks and process contamination can have on employees, production and the environment.
The UPM 1000 is virtually metal-free and is manufactured from virgin PTFE with fully swept internal flow paths to eliminate bacteria growth.
This makes it ideal for applications such as semiconductor fabrication and chemical processing and dosing.
Independent tests have shown that the UPM1000 produces consistent results, lower particle shedding and up to three times the life expectancy of conventional valves.
It is available in 2- and 3-way versions and in 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" sizes.
