Among its key product lines is the BI-Lok double ferrule type tube fitting, which simultaneously performs pipe retention and fluid sealing through its two ferrules. Metal diaphragm valves utilize a metallic diaphragm for external sealing, achieving high leak tightness, durability, and a dead-space-free design, suitable for high-purity fluids. Bellows valves employ metallic bellows for external sealing, ensuring no leakage from the stem area, ideal for applications requiring high leak prevention, such as toxic gases. Stop valves feature a 316 stainless steel body, capable of handling pressures up to 24.5 MPa and a wide temperature range from -196°C to 230°C. Ball valves can be selected based on application pressure, from vacuum to 30MPa, and the specific fluids handled, with special cleaning specifications and non-standard connections available upon request.AmongitskeyproductlinesistheBI-Lokdoubleferruletypetubefitting,whichsimultaneouslyperformspiperetentionandfluidsealingthroughitstwoferrules.Metaldiaphragmvalvesutilizeametallicdiaphragmforexternalsealing,achievinghighleaktightness,durability,andadead-space-freedesign,suitableforhigh-purityfluids.Bellowsvalvesemploymetallicbellowsforexternalsealing,ensuringnoleakagefromthestemarea,idealforapplicationsrequiringhighleakprevention,suchastoxicgases.Stopvalvesfeaturea316stainlesssteelbody,capableofhandlingpressuresupto24.5MPaandawidetemperaturerangefrom-196°Cto230°C.Ballvalvescanbeselectedbasedonapplicationpressure,fromvacuumto30MPa,andthespecificfluidshandled,withspecialcleaningspecificationsandnon-standardconnectionsavailableuponrequest.
