All-Metal UHV Valves Series 54 by Agilent Technologies

Agilent is pleased to offer the all-metal UHV Series 54 valves in partnership with VAT, which are suitable for extreme, ultrahigh vacuum (UHV/XHV). They can be manually operated with a standard hex wrench, so no torque wrench is required.

Thanks to the 'hard-on-hard' metal seals, these valves can operate thousand of items before requiring maintenance. Flex vatring technology enables high sealing forces with comparably low axial forces. Any mounting orientation possible.

Features:

• Leak rate: valve body, valve seat < 1 x 10-10 mbar ls-1
• Differential pressure on the gate < 2 bar
• Differential pressure at opening < 1 bar
• Lifetime >1,000 cycles
• Bakeout temperature < 300 °C
• Material AISI 316L
• Any mounting orientation
• Conductance NW 16:5 L/s, NW 40: 50 l/sec
• Convenient operation with a standard hexagon wrench—no torque wrench required
• Sealing surfaces are only elastically deformed
