Type 600 Volume Booster

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Type-600 Ratio Relay Volume Booster is designed to convert a low flow pneumatic signal into a high flow output pressure, suitable for systems requiring increased flow capacity. It supports a flow capacity of up to 50 SCFM and offers various signal to output pressure ratios, including 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:6.
Features:
  • High Flow Capacity: Supports up to 50 SCFM.
  • Amplified Output: Available in multiple signal to output pressure ratios.
  • Stable Output: Maintains output pressure under varying conditions using a Venturi aspirator.
  • Balanced Supply Valve: Insensitive to supply pressure variations due to its rolling diaphragm design.
  • Optional Negative Bias: Offers a 4 psi negative bias option for zeroing I/Ps.
Applications: The Type-600 is used in applications such as web tensioning, roll loading, control valve actuators, I/P volume boosting, cylinder actuation, clutch and brake control, and gas flow control.
Specifications:
  • Flow Capacity: 50 SCFM (76.5 m3/hr).
  • Exhaust Capacity: Varies by ratio, with a maximum of 15 SCFM (25.5 m3/hr).
  • Sensitivity: Ranges from 0.25 to 1.50 inches of water depending on the ratio.
  • Ratio Accuracy: Varies from 1.0% to 2.0% of output span.
  • Zero Error: Ranges from 2.0% to 3.0% of output span.
  • Max Supply Pressure: 250 psig (17.5 BAR).
  • Max Signal Pressure: Varies by ratio, with a maximum of 150 psig (10.34 BAR).
  • Temperature Limits: -40 to 160°F (-40 to 71°C).
  • Weight: 1.4 lbs (6.35 gm).
Ordering Information: Various part numbers are available based on port size and ratio, with options for negative bias, tapped exhaust, and different porting.
Warranty: Products are warranted for 18 months against defects in materials and workmanship, with limitations on liability and responsibility for product selection and maintenance.
Principle of Operation: The Type-600 operates by balancing the force from the signal pressure against the output pressure. Changes in signal pressure adjust the diaphragm assembly, opening or closing the supply valve to maintain equilibrium.

Type 600 Volume Booster-1

The Type-600 ratio relay volume booster is designed to use apneumatic signal to produce an output pressure which has high flow capacity and can be amplified. This unit is most useful for systems requiring the conversion of a low flow control signal to the higher flow requirements of an operating system. Using an independent supply pressure for greater volume, the Type-600 relays up to 50 SCFM flow capacity to a final control element such asavalve actuator. The standard signal to output ratio is 1:1, however, the Type-600 is also available with an amplified signal to output ratio of 1:2, 1:3 and 1:6. FEATURES High Flow Capacity > Allows flows up to 50 SCFM ՕAmplified Output > Available in a signal to output pressure ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:6 Stable Output > Venturi aspirator maintains output pressure under varying flow conditions ՕBalanced Supply Valve > Rolling diaphragm design makes unit insensitive to supply pressure variation Optional Negative Bias > 4psi negative bias option allows "zero" of I/P's Flow Characteristics > 1:31:61:1 The Type-600 is used extensively for increased flow capacity,pressure amplication, or remote pressure control applications.
