Key features and benefits of Acetylene valves

 

• The body of the acetylene valve is made of brass
• All the internal components are machined for precision and designed to meet the stringent international standards for valve performance
• The high temperature aluminum alloy hand wheel has two drainage holes
• The acetylene valve is tested to be 100% helium leak proof
• The low torque operation design makes it easy to use with hand or a wrench
• The lower plug is made of tough naval brass, which makes it durable
• Precision machining results in excellent finish for low torque sealing
• To prevent the accumulation of the pressure at the top of the valve body, the metal to metal seat design is used under the bonnet threads
• Sherwood acetylene valves are designed for extreme applications with a high durometer back-up ring that prevents the extrusion of O-ring
• The friction is reduced due to the direct drive stem design with optimized single O-ring seal
• The design of the acetylene valve enables it to operate at exceptionally low torque levels

 

Application of Acetylene valve

 

• Acetylene valves are widely used in the gas and liquid industry
• Sherwood acetylene valves are used in applications where precise control of flow is required
• Widely used for oxy-acetylene and oxygen fuel gas requirements.

 

Note of Caution

 

Never open the acetylene cylinder valve more than one and a half turns. This allows adequate flow of acetylene and closes quickly in case of an emergency.
