Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Sensitive Low-Pressure Control: Engineered to operate at exceptionally low setpoints, ensuring the tank remains pressurized just enough to protect the product without overstressing the tank structure.
-
Fast Speed of Response: The direct-operated mechanism reacts instantly to changes in tank pressure caused by thermal contraction or liquid pump-out, preventing vacuum conditions.
-
Small Lockup Pressure: Designed to minimize the pressure increase required to shut the valve completely, which conserves inert gas and prevents unnecessary venting.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, with material options available to handle both corrosive blanketing gases and external atmospheric conditions.
-
Sanitary and High-Purity Options: Available in FDA/USP Class VI approved and ADI-free constructions, making it suitable for the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food and beverage industries.
-
Extreme Temperature Readiness: Offers an Arctic construction option for reliable operation in frigid climates where standard elastomers might fail.
-
Flexible Configuration: The modular design allows for easy conversion between different constructions or pressure ranges in the field, reducing the need for extensive spare parts inventory.
Technical Properties
-
Operation: Direct-operated and spring-loaded for simplicity and speed.
-
Body Sizes: Available in 3/4-inch and 1-inch (DN 20 and 25) NPT or flanged connections.
-
Material Options: Offered in Stainless Steel and Cast Steel to meet specific chemical compatibility requirements.
-
Maximum Inlet Pressure: Capable of handling standard nitrogen supply pressures up to 200 psig (13.8 bar).
-
Sensing: Large diaphragm area provides the high mechanical gain necessary for accurate low-pressure regulation.
Field of Application
The T205 Series is the standard for localized tank blanketing where a large, pilot-operated system is not required. It is an essential component for environmental compliance and product quality.
Primary Industries and Uses:
-
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Protecting sterile ingredients and purified water from atmospheric contact.
-
Food and Beverage: Blanketing edible oils, juices, and flavorings to prevent spoilage and oxidation.
-
Chemical Storage: Maintaining inert atmospheres over flammable or reactive solvent tanks.
-
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Protecting sensitive lotions and chemicals from moisture contamination.
