The valve uses a patented sealing arrangement that has the advantages of a diaphragm valve, avoiding metal-to-metal contact, which could result in metal particles being released into sensitive products, while giving a similar level of control to a metal plug and seat.

The self-draining isolated seal design enables the valve to be used in applications where quick assembly and disassembly for effective cleaning is essential, such as in clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitise-in-place (SIP) processes.

It features internal surfaces that are electro-polished and finished to 0.4um Ra, a heavy-duty Tri-Clamp body/bonnet connection and 2in x 1/8in NPT connections for venting, purging and sterilisation.

In addition to its 3A rating, the SCV-09 valve is designed in accordance with ASME BPE-2005 and meets ANSI/FCI 70-2-class VI shut-off rating.

It is available in 1/2in, 3/4in and 1in body sizes in 316L stainless steel.

It is suitable for low to medium flow rates and has a maximum operating pressure of 10bar.

To suit specific application requirements, the valves can be supplied with a choice of actuators along with a range of accessories, such as solenoids, limit switches, gauges, I/P converters, filters and regulators.
