Furon Introduces Self-Manifolding Distribution Valve; SMDV-1000 Valve Features High Flow, Space-Saving Design.ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 1998--Furon, the world's leader in engineered polymer components, has designed its new self-manifolding distribution valve with patent-pending diaphragm diaphragm (dī`əfrăm'), term used to describe any of several large muscles, found in humans and other mammals, which separate two adjacent regions of the body. The most commonly known muscle of this class is the thoraco-abdominal diaphragm. technology and self-manifolding capability. The SMDV-1000, with a Cv flow factor of 12.7, is ideal for use in valve box See Valve chest , bulk chemical distribution systems and slurry delivery applications. "Furon targeted this valve to meet the industry's need for a product that offers exceptional flow and performance attributes in a design package that allows compact coupling, or `self-manifolding,' to save space," stated Greg Sallee, Furon Fluid Handling Product Manager. "The space-saving design coupled with the high Cv flow factor, facilitates increased throughput for chipmakers, chemical management, and chemical processing companies while optimizing the required fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. area." The SMDV-1000 is readily available with 1" and 3/4" end connections and on/off pneumatic or manual multi-turn actuation ac·tu·ate tr.v. ac·tu·at·ed, ac·tu·at·ing, ac·tu·ates 1. To put into motion or action; activate: electrical relays that actuate the elevator's movements. 2. . Additional options include a fourth, always open port and a 3/8" Flare Grip(R) II purge port. Operating at 21 degrees C at up to 80 PSIG PSIG Pounds per Square Inch Gauge PSIG Pipeline Simulation Interest Group PSIG Pelotons de Surveillance et d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie PSIG Provisional Institutions of Self-Government (Kosovo) PSIG Programming Special Interest Group forward and back pressure, the valve can handle fluid temperatures ranging from 5 degrees C to 100 degrees C. "The high back pressure capability ensures safe operation and reliability," Sallee said. The SMDV-1000 has an all PTFE PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene. wetted, fully swept flow path, which allows for complete drain down eliminating the possibility of bacterial contamination. "The SMDV is 100 percent tested for operation and is qualified at over one million cycles. This superior MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The average time a component works without failure. It is the number of failures divided by the hours under observation. MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures reduces equipment downtime and maintenance," according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Sallee. Other features of the new valve include no exposed metallics and visible position indication for operator convenience. It is assembled, tested and double-bagged in a Class 100 Cleanroom. The SMDV-1000 Self-Manifolding Distribution Valve joins Furon's expanding family of high purity fluid handling components, including pumps, valves, fittings, tubing, and accessories.
