3-way manifold M1BA

stainless steelthreadedflange

Manifolds are a set of several valves mounted on the same block with several connections. They are used to isolate a process pipe to an instrument, equalize pressures, differential pressures, isolate pressure gauges, purge, block or calibrate different lines. Depending on the operations we want them to perform, they can have 1, 2 and 3 ways and 1, 2, 3 or 5 valves. Manifolds can be for direct mounting when are connected directly to pressure transmitters via a standard flange. Alternatively, only threaded connections for the assembly into the instrument are used if a manifold is remote mount type. 2-valve manifolds are used for single pressure level applications, 3 and 5 valve manifolds are used for differential pressures. Connections NPT (ANSI / ASME B1.20.1), BSP or Cylindrical GAS (DIN 259 or ISO 228), Flanged. Materials Carbon Steel, 316 / 316L Stainless Steel, Duplex, Super Duplex, Hastelloy, Monel, etc. Packing Made of GRAFOIL or PTFE. Upon request, it can be supplied in other materials. Closure Metal-metal. Manifolds have a compact design that allows installation in tight spaces. Each plant layout will have a suitable manifold depending on the instruments and space, but generally, the difference between a remote or a direct manifold: The advantage of using a direct assembly manifold is that head loss and pressure fluctuations are reduced since the manifolds are directly connected to the instruments. The advantage of remotely installed manifolds is that the flow can be cut off much further away from the instruments so we ensure the fluid temperature does not affect the instrument.
