Special Cleaning Requirements: Clippard offers a variety of special cleaning, inspection, and testing options for components or assemblies. These include ultrasonic cleaning, baking of seals to outgas chemicals, inspection under ultraviolet light, and helium leak testing. Special packaging ensures cleanliness, and high purity compressed nitrogen is used for testing instead of standard shop air.
Oxygen Service: For oxygen-rich environments, Clippard adheres to strict cleaning standards to prevent contamination. Valves are ultrasonically cleaned and assembled in clean rooms, inspected under white and ultraviolet light, and lubricated with oxygen-compatible PFPE grease. No organic sealants or lubricants are used, and valves are tested with high purity compressed nitrogen.

Medium Clean, dry air (40 micron filter) Pressure Range Vac. to 105 psig Nominal Power 0.67 watts Temperature Range 32 to 180°F Operating Range 90 to 150% of rated voltage Clippard's original EV series valve design is a deceptively simple arrangement featuring a remarkably quiet, low power operation. The Clippard "spider" is the only moving part, and its motion to operate the valve is a mere 0.007" travel. As a result, this valve features an exceptionally long life—proven to last over 1,000,000,000+ cycles. Low voltage DC inputs move the spider, generating extremely fast response...

CLEANING CAPABILITIES It's no surprise that the cleaner your valve is, the less it will leak. However, cleanliness is also important in other ways, such as for medical applications where fluid flowing through the valves may be entering a person's body or for applications in the food and beverage industry. In these cases, the valves must not only be cleaned of any particulate matter, but also of any harmful substances used in the normal machining or assembly process. When cleanliness matters, you can count on Clippard to provide the special cleaning, assembly, and testing processes your demanding...
