Variable Leak Valve

The Agilent Variable Leak Valve includes a movable piston with an optically flat sapphire that meets a captured metal gasket. This forms a seal completely free from friction, seizing, and shear. The sapphire’s movement is controlled through a threaded shaft-and-lever mechanism that provides a mechanical advantage of 13,000 to 1. 
  • For special purpose valve applications
  • Range from Atmosphere to below 10-11 torr (mbar)
  • Available with manual or air actuation
  • No leak detectable on a helium mass spectrometer leak detector with sensitivity of 1 x 10-10 std cc/sec
  • Maximum Flow Conductance 6 l/m
  • Bakeable to 450º C
