Stainless steel spring Stainless steel ball Fast acting, tight closing, high capacity Kadant Johnson vacuum breakers provide a simple, dependable way to relieve any unwanted vacuum condition that may develop in a closed vessel or pipeline. They can be used to prevent contamination from back flowing in fluid handling systems and to protect equipment against collapse or implosion. They combine tight closing with instant response; provide large air venting capacity; are designed for easy installation and long service life. Positive closing, low breakaway The successful combination of the...

Kadant Johnson Vacuum Breakers Approximate air handling capacities The air handling capacity curves were plotted from calculations using the Cv factors of the vacuum breaker. The Cv factor is a flow coefficient determined by actual test which mathematically gives the relationship between the rate of flow and the pressure drop. The flow formula used was recommended by the Fluid Controls Institute. INCHES HG VACUUM NOTE: Capacities will vary slightly due to position of installation. Typical installations of Kadant Johnson vacuum breakers VENT VALVE MODULATING CONTROL VALVE VACUUM BREAKER...
