Stainless-steel industrial pressure gauges
A new range of stainless-steel industrial pressure gauges accurately monitor vacuum and positive system pressures up to 1000bar (15,000 lb/in2 or 100MPa).
Offered in stainless (for salt water usage) and carbon steel, the GU series valve can be ordered in straight and angle patterns with a choice of end connections in sizes from 0.25 to 1in (6 to 25mm).
The valve features operating pressures up to 413bar at 93C.
A sour gas service model is also available.
A two-piece knuckle joint drives the hardened stem tip to create a leak-tight seal.
The nonrotating stem design minimises seal wear, protects the seat from galling, and helps promote long service life.
Located above the valve packing, both the knuckle joint and the strong, cold-rolled stem threads are isolated from system media and protected from dust and dirt by a stainless steel shroud.
