|
The VLP-U and VLP-US Series are pneumatically-operated high vacuum L-valves developed using ULVAC's wealth of accumulated vacuum technology and experience. The large conductance when the disk is released maximizes vacuum pump specifications such as evacuation performance.
- O-ring shaft seals draw little air into valves.
Simpler structure makes maintenance easy.
VLP-US Series models have surfaces polished by electrolysis, for low out gas.
Low cost
Wide range of models is available, for small- to large-size connections.
- Evacuation system lines on vacuum equipment
Plant equipment requiring ultra-large-size connections (special models can be made to order)

Noteè[šThis catalog uses SI measurement units. Conversion to non-SI units is as follows :
1Pa = 7.5 x 10-3Torr
*1è[š VLP-US standard material: SUS304. SUS304L, SUS316 and SUS316L are available as options
(2-month delivery).
