The 3-valve manifold consists of two shut-off valves and one pressure compensating valve. The shut-off valves separate the process from the differential pressure measuring instrument. The pressure compensating valve enables the compensation between ⊕ side and ⊖ side to avoid one-sided overpressure during commissioning and operation.
Compared to the 3-valve manifold, the 5-valve manifold is equipped with two additional vent valves. One vent valve per pressure side allows operators the targeted venting of one or both pressure sides of the measuring arrangement
■ Low-wear design due to non-rotating spindle tip in the bonnet
■ Low torque and smooth operation of valve handle even at high pressure
■ Enhanced safety due to blow-out proof bonnet design
■ Customer-specific combination of valves and instruments (hook-up) on request
■ Standardised centre distances of 37 mm and 54 mm, suitable for WIKA differential pressure gauges and commonly used process transmitters
