Swagelok Type Ss 316 VCR Instrument Gasket Bellows Sealed Needle Valves

Product Description

SS 316 VCR Instrument Gasket Bellows Sealed Needle Valves - BS1 Series

BS1 series bellows-sealed valves are available in a variety of models for system versatility. Working pressure is up to 1000 psig (68.9 bar), and working temperature ranges from -20ºF to 900ºF (-28ºC to 482ºC). These valves isolate system fluids and achieve reliable, leak-tight performance using a packless design and a gasketed or welded seal. They are ideal for applications where the seal to atmosphere is critical, offering multiple options for general and high-purity service.
