Valves enable pipeline sample point identification

The handles, which help reduce heat transfer to the hand, are of an intrinsically safe design, as they cannot be accidentally over-tightened or dismantled while in operation.

Available with material certification to BS EN 10204 3.1, Axium's range of hygienic manual sample valves is designed with an internal crevice-free construction, using an FDA-approved elastomer boot to enhance its hygienic properties, and is available with a 4mm entry port as standard or an 8mm entry port for viscous or particulate-containing applications.

The valves, which can withstand pressures of up to 10 bar, are suitable for clean in place (CIP) and are easily fitted with a clamp connection as standard.

Clamp seals are available in a range of FDA-approved polymers, including EPDM, Viton, nitrile, silicone, encapsulated and solid PTFE.

As well as being a safe and efficient method of taking manual samples, Axium's range of sample valves can also be used as miniature drain or vent valves.
