Small enough to fit into the hand, ASCO Joucomatic’s new miniature 290 Series valve offers the most compact and economical solution for the control of water, oil, gases liquids, group 1 and 2, and steam in the food, medical (sterilising), textile, testing and laundering industries. The new valve, featuring a rotatable 32mm operator, is the latest introduction to ASCO Joucomatic’s 290 Series, a range of valves that offers many advantages to users across the temperature range –10 C to +184 C and across pipe sizes from G3/8in to G2.5in. These include high flow rates, resistance to back pressure, operation on vacuum (up to 10-2 mbar) and an anti-hammer facility. In addition, the valve design, which optimises the position of the valve disc in relation to the fluid, ensures a maximum flow rate for a minimum opening, thus reducing valve response time.
