New 20K ball and needle valves
Parker Instrumentation has launched NACE-compliant ball and needle instrumentation valves optimised for high pressure hydraulics and fluid control applications operating at up to 20,000 PSI/1379 bar
It compares the processes required to assemble a 1034bar/15000PSI tube fitting using traditional 'cone and thread' technology, and a novel design employing familiar compression sealing principles.
Time lapse footage shows a technican taking over 15 minutes to perform the precise mechnical preparation required for a cone and thread style of fitting - while a Parker MP compression fitting is assembled in less than 10 seconds, simply by tightening a nut.
The integrity of the compression tube fitting assembly is then pressure tested to 2058bar/30,000 PSI.
