The most reliable and durable valve
Our patented compact Purged Lip Sealing Valve (PLSV) is a disruptive analytical valve that offers the best of both worlds: a longer lifetime than a diaphragm valve along with the constant pressure drop and simplicity of a conical rotary valve.
Designed to meet our high standards, this revolutionary technology is based on an innovative purge system as well as the valve insert’s reduced sealing surface area that replaces the traditional rotor. By design, it’s impossible for this valve to develop a cross-port leak.
Features
No leaks: Unique purge technology eliminates inboard/outboard and cross-port leaks
Long lifetime: Over 2 million actuations in UHP applications due to unique reduced surface area insert technology
Constant pressure drop: No change in pressure/flow drop across temperature range and life span
No dead volume: Internal flow path contains no unswept volume
Small footprint: With our electrical or pneumatic compact actuator, multiple valves can be installed in a constrained space, replacing existing diaphragm valve
