•
Adaptors between Tri-clamp, Mini Tri-clamp and Hose Piece (Quick Coupling)
•
Spike Bag holders and Spikes
•
Fitted PTFE tubing for Quick Coupling and Tri-clamp
•
Any length of PTFE tube
•
Clamps for Tri-clamp connections
•
Hypodermic needles
and spare parts like:
•
O-rings and gaskets
• Membranes
3.8 Pressure and vacuum
Pressure ratings:
All SESAME valves feature a spring to provide the closing force against the valve seat. The spring is
dimensioned such that all valves must pass a pressure test up to 10 bar. At some tank pressure above 10
bar the spring will give way and the valve will leak.
A nominal max. constant pressure of 6 bar allow sufficient tolerance to cater for the most common
pressure peaks in a process line.
Vacuum ratings:
On installations where vacuum will occur, rubber membranes (EPDM, FFKM, Silicone) are at risk of being
sucked hard into the valve seat, whereby the valve might not open properly. However, the additional
(closing) force from the vacuum (corresponding to max. -1 bar(g) or 0 bar(abs)) is rather small (10%)
compared the force exerted by the spring (corresponding to at least 10 bar(g)), so there is no risk of
damaging the membrane as long as the vacuum is only present when the valve is closed.
Besides, attempting to open a sampling valve under vacuum makes no sense, since nothing will flow out,
so the incident is rather improbable.
Rubber membranes will seal perfectly well against vacuum, when the valve is kept closed.
WARNING:
• When opening the valve while the process side is under vaccum there is a risk that the
membrane may be sucked passed the valve seat and into the valve opening, which could cause
the membrane to be damaged.
• On installations where vacuum will occur, PTFE membranes don’t have the risk of being sucked
into the valve seat, but as it is a harder and less flexible material a complete tightness against
the ambient air may not be secured.
