Restek 1/4" Male NPT x 1/4" Female NPT Sample Cylinder Valve, 3500 psig DOT Pressure Rating, Sulfinert Treated

Alta-Robbinss unique valve design incorporates a fully contained soft seat that provides durability and longer lifetime. Tight shut-off is easily achieved with very low torque, yet the valve is rugged enough to withstand overtightening.

Multiple valve configurations are available for both high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure sample cylinders. An outage tube or dip tube provides a headspace above liquefied gases so that, should expansion occur with an increase in temperature, the pressure is not dramatically increased. Outage is expressed as a percent of the total cylinder volume, based on the ratio of the length of headspace to the total length of the cylinder, with a maximum available outage of 50%. The dip tube is welded directly to the male inlet of the valve and cut to a length of up to 5.25 inches. Rupture disks function to protect sample cylinders from overpressurization by venting to the atmosphere. The pressure rating on the rupture disk should always be lower than the cylinder.
