Details
Block and bleed, two valve manifolds with indirect and direct mount capabilities for static pressures to 6000 psig (414 barg)
- Cost savings of 20-30% when manifolding instruments by eliminating several parts used in conventional methods of ‘piping up’.
- Compact design requires minimum space for operation and installation.
- Fewer leak points reduce leakage by having fewer parts to assemble.
- Free-swivelling ball end stem (metal seat) ensures bubble-tight valve closure without seat galling.
- Easy instrument removal via the AGCO Mount. Direct bolting to the manifold allows the instrument to be removed independently of the piping, facilitating repairs, service, and calibration.
- Immediate installation with AGCO Mount as the manifold, steam block, bracket and all associated piping can be installed without the instrument at the time of plant construction.
- Secure mounting provided by the AGCO Mount. Instrument piping stability is enhanced when directly supported by the pipestand through the manifold.
- Packing is below stem threads, body-to-bonnet seal is below the threads eliminating process fluid corrosion.
- Reduced chance of instrument damage. With the AGCO Mount, the instrument can be warehoused safely until final ‘loop’ checkout.
