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).
Key features of the new valves have a 316 stainless steel construction, spring-loaded seats, floating ball, low-torque operation, and a compact design.
The spring-loaded seats and floating ball provide leak-tight integrity in both low and high-pressure systems while reducing wear and extending cycle life.
Low torque allows for easy manual operation and the use of smaller pneumatic and electric actuators.
A compact envelope and standard panel mounting make the valves ideal for installation in panels.
In addition to manual actuation, SK series valves are available with standard Swagelok or ISO5211-compliant rack and pinion pneumatic actuators.
End connection choices include Swagelok gaugeable tube fitting, NPT and ISO pipe, and VCO O-ring face seal.
Service options include low-temperature and sour gas applications.
The new valves are rated for working pressures to 413bar and temperatures ranging from -40 to +150C.
