Swagelok Addresses Industry Requirements With New 40G Series One-Piece Instrumentation Ball Valves.SOLON, Ohio Solon (pronounced Sew-len) is a city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and is a suburb of Cleveland in the Northeast Ohio Region, the 14th largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 21,802. -- Addressing industry requirements for a wider range of operating temperatures, new Swagelok(R) 40G series one-piece instrumentation ball valves ball valve n. A valve regulated by the position of a free-floating ball that moves in response to fluid or mechanical pressure. are for use in environmental applications where outdoor ambient temperatures Outside temperature at any given altitude, preferably expressed in degrees centigrade. fluctuate, as well as in heated-process applications with elevated process fluid temperatures. The valves feature working pressures up to 3000 psig (206 bar) and temperatures from -65 to 300 degrees F (-53 to 148 degrees C). Features of the new valve include, a single-piece, patent-pending encapsulated packing design and live-loaded packing system that reduce the need for packing adjustment and improve thermal cycle performance. Constructed of modified PTFE PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene. , the single-piece, packing does not require system pressure to seal, reduces potential leak points, and allows bi-directional flow. Choose from 2-way straight or angle pattern valves for on-off service or 3-way valves for switching service with end connections in sizes from 1/16 to 3/8 in. and 3 to 8 mm. The 40G valve series accommodates a wide range of handles and actuators. Choose from lightweight, compact Swagelok rack and pinion rack and pinion Mechanical device consisting of a bar of rectangular cross section (the rack), having teeth on one side that mesh with teeth on a small gear (the pinion). If the pinion rotates about a fixed axis, the rack will move in a straight path. pneumatic actuators; ISO (1) See ISO speed.
