Common questions

When is the RX 08 the right size rather than the RX 04?
When the line needs the flow. The RX 08 has an 8 mm seat, Cv 0.5 and under 1.6 cm3 of wetted volume, against 4 mm, Cv 0.2 and under 1.2 cm3 on the RX 04, so it passes about two and a half times the flow at the same pressure drop. Where the line has to carry more flow, the RX 08 is the one to specify.
What pressure versions does the RX 08 come in?
20 bar and 240 bar, each with a multiturn handwheel, a quarter turn handwheel or a pneumatic actuator, and a burst pressure above 700 bar. Every valve is helium leak tested on the outboard, inboard and across the seat paths at 1 x 10-9 mbar.l/s or better, assembled in an ISO Class 4 cleanroom and carries its own serial number.
What options are available on the RX 08?
Multi port bodies, panel mounting, a lockout and a position switch, with the seat in PCTFE for minus 40 to plus 65 C, minus 20 C on the pneumatic versions, or polyimide for up to 150 C. The body is AISI 316L to SEMI F20, the diaphragm is Phynox, and the gas wetted finish is to the SEMI F19 grades.
