Metering Valves

VM 1D, 3D, and 6D Series

Features

Factory Test

Cleaning and Packaging

Slotted handle

allows flow setting adjustment with a screwdriver.

Lock screw

locks out flow setting.

Stem threads

are isolated from system fluid.

Handle stop

mechanically helps prevent damage to stem and orifice.

Stem O-ring

seals system fluids

Tapered stem tip

controls gas or liquid flow rates accurately.

Body materials

are forged stainless steel 316 or brass.

Straight and angle

patterns.

Standard

Panel mounting.

Every valve is factory tested with nitrogen gas at 68.9bar

(1,000 psig) for leakage to a maximum allowable leak rate of

0.1SCCM at seat.

Hydraulic shell test is optionally performed at 1.5 times the

working pressure to a requirement of no detectable leakage

with a liquid leak detector.

* While valve is adjusted at pressure, 500 psig (34.4 bar) is max downstream

pressure due to mechanical strength limit of the finepitch threads and high

operation torque.

** VM6D series in use for shutoff in vacuum or gas, or for repetitive shutoff in

liquid are not recommendable.
