Parker Instrumentation has launched a 3/8in bore double block and bleed manifold that will operate at up to 15,000PSI cold working pressure. The Hi-Pro manifold is supplied as standard with threadless connections for tubing and 15,000PSI-rated MPI tubing ends that operate using the industry-standard compression sealing technique. These assemble in seconds by simply tightening a nut, and are inherently vibration resistant. The end connections are secured by means of Parker’s proprietary Tru-Loc mechanism, to guard against any connector movement when disconnecting connectors or instruments. Optionally, NPT-compatible male or female ends are available. The Hi-Pro manifold integrates two ball valves for isolation, and one needle valve for venting, providing a standard “double block and bleed” configuration for interfacing instruments such as a pressure or temperature transmitters. The valves are integrated within a 316 stainless steel one-piece body measuring 9.31in in length for the version with MPI tube ends. The manifold is suitable for applications in deepwater oil and gas drilling and methanol injection equipment, and industrial laboratories where products are developed and tested under extreme conditions.
