What is an autoclave valve?
Parker Autoclave Engineers needle valves are designed for high pressure and temperature gas and liquid applications. These valves are a non-rotating rising stem design, working pressures to 15,000 psi (1034 bar). Tubing sizes range from 1/8″ to 1/2″.
How do autoclave fittings work?
A coned and threaded connection uses a metal-to-metal line contact seal created by inserting a tube with a 59o cone angle into a connection with a 60-degree cone angle. The two cones coming together form a line contact seal.
What type of ball valve do we offer in the Parker autoclave range?
The Parker Autoclave Engineers ball valves can be utilized to switch or isolate flow. The standard material of construction of the valve is 316 cold worked 316/316L with PEEK seats, graphite filled PTFE stem seal, and o-ring material as required by the process fluid.
What is high pressure autoclave?
High-pressure autoclaves are designed for pressures far above 100 bar. The material properties must therefore be able to withstand such a load. All connections, i.e. valves, measuring devices and closures, are specially designed for applications under the influence of high pressure and temperature.
Is used in sterilization by autoclaving?
Autoclave sterilization works by using heat to kill microorganisms such as bacteria and spores. According to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines for Disinfection and Sterilization of Healthcare Facilities, pressurized steam is the most widely used and dependable method of sterilization.
What is JIC hydraulic fitting?
JIC (or Joint Industry Council) fittings, defined by SAE J514, are compression fittings machined with a 37 degree flare seating surface and parallel threads. They are commonly manufactured in nickel alloys, brass, carbon & stainless steel. JIC Fitting hydraulic connections are common in most fluid power systems.
What is the difference between ball valve and needle valve?
A needle valve has a tapered shaft (needle) pressed against a seat. Which is lowered or raised by a screw that is connected to the wheel or handle etc the top. A ball valve has a sphere seated between a gasket or “stuffing”. This sphere/ ‘ball’ normally has a through hole of same bore as that of inlet connection.
Can you throttle a needle valve?
Needle valves are generally a smaller valve and most are able to be throttled down to just drops per minute. The needle valve’s plunger is usually conical in shape like the tip of a needle and when closed sits down into a matching conical shaped seat.
