How to find the right Critical Service safety valve Type Orifice Level Corrosion resistance Description 447 Inlet Outlet G–N 3 Bonnet space – tandard with S PTFE-bellows Type 447 is an economical alternative for applications in which there is also a highly corrosive atmosphere in the outlet body which requires the best protection through a PTFE lining. 5466 Inlet Outlet G–K 2 Bonnet space – tandard with S PTFE-bellows Type 5466 is the solution for applications in which activation of the safety valve rarely occurs and the protective coating together with the bellows provides adequate corrosion...

General information Valve finder and Level-Concept How to find the right Critical Service safety valve Type Design features 447 • Inlet body and outlet body are lined with virgin PTFE for the utmost corrosion resistance • ozzles made of gas-tight sintered PFTE-TFM + 25% glass for the prevention of corrosion in the inlet of the body. N • ealing plate made of BOROFLOAT glass for high chemical resistance. A metallic sealing plate support ensures S high mechanical stability of the disc unit. Material coupling in PTFE-nozzle – disc with sealing plate made of BOROFLOAT glass for high leak-tightness....

General information Lining materials PTFE materials Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance plastic which is known for its unique properties. Several different types of this universal material are used at LESER. For 25% glass-modified PTFE TFMTM, fibre glass is added to the production process to improve impact and compression strength. An overview of the types of materials used: For 25% carbon-modified PTFE TFMTM, graphite carbon is added to the production process to achieve a lower volume resistance and also improve impact and compression strength. Virgin PTFE-TF stands for a polytetrafluorethylene...
