Exotic alloy high-integrity manifolds introduced

Parker Instrumentation has extended their high-integrity manifold range, with new exotic alloy versions to assure corrosion-free performance in a wider range of fluid instrumentation applications

Parker Instrumentation has extended the versatility of its high-integrity manifold range, with new exotic alloy versions to assure corrosion-free performance in a wider range of fluid instrumentation applications.

Now available in materials including Titanium, Monel, 6Mo, Hastelloy, Inconel, Incolloy and Super Duplex - as well as standard stainless steel - the manifolds allow users to optimise protection against the aggressive media found in chemical, oil, gas and other processes.

Typical applications include oil and gas instrumentation systems exposed to sour gas or salt spray, and in chemical, pharmaceutical or pulp processing plants to withstand the effects of media such as acids, ethanol and halides.

The material options are available for all of Parker's H Series of manifolds.

This is the new range resulting from the combination of Parker designs with those from its Ives Valves acquisition - which now offers solutions for every major industrial process instrumentation application.

Already offering unique features aimed at enhancing reliability such as the ability to minimise the number of potential leak paths, and eliminate any need for sealants when making connections - the exotic material options add a valuable weapon for instrumentation engineers designing for problematic environmental conditions.

Key to the availability of this new option is the Parker long experience of the manufacture of exotic-material tube fittings.

The company has a well-developed supply chain for exotic alloys, plus a great deal of know-how for machining and shaping these difficult materials.

Its exotic tube fittings are widely specified by oil and gas exploration organisations in particular, and the new manifold options greatly extend the choice available to such organisations - providing a single source of supply for instrumentation systems destined for corrosion-prone environments.

The H Series range includes 2-, 3- and 5-valve manifolds for pressure and flow transmitters, double-block-and-bleed assemblies and monoflanges and distribution manifolds - as well as discrete valves.

This portfolio is backed by a design centre and fast-response manufacturing operation at Parker Instrumentation's European headquarters.

A key facet of the operation is a computer-controlled ordering system, which gives users many options such as graphite packing for high temperature performance, NACE, safety protection mechanisms, soft seating for gaseous media, and cleaning for oxygen service.
