In response to increasing industry investment in sophisticated process instrumentation, Sabre Instrument Valves has developed a comprehensive range of specialist enclosures, designed to provide maximum on-site protection for sensitive measurement and communication equipment against the hazards of harsh environments and extreme weather conditions. Drawing on its own experience as a manufacturer of instrument valves and manifolds for the worldwide oil, gas, petro-chemical and process industries, Sabre now offers a comprehensive range of enclosures for use with either back-mounted or base-mounted manifolds in 2, 3 or 5-valve configurations. Each enclosure comprises two matched mouldings in highly durable and fire-retardant GRP, joined by hinges and spring-adjusted toggle latches in stainless steel. Gas-loaded prop stays ensure easy and safe opening, even in high winds, and an integral weatherproof seal, rated to IP66, is designed for full product lifespan service. Available as individual ex-stock items, Sabre enclosures are also offered as the basis of complete factory-fitted packages, which are fully customised to client specifications and include manifolds and free issue transmitters. Supplied to site in a ‘ready-to-use’ condition, with all process connections made from outside the enclosure, the packages have been proven to cut down on the time and costs involved in both installation and testing. In addition to its standard GRP models, Sabre has developed an anti-static enclosure range, complying with BS 5501 Part 1. A wide range of optional equipment and accessories complements the Sabre range of enclosures. This includes electrical or steam heating, thermostatic controls and internal insulation, plus louvres, vents and viewing windows.
