Noshok has introduced its 100 series needle valves, offering engineers three material options for diverse industrial applications. The valves are available in zinc-nickel plated steel, electropolished stainless-steel, and brass constructions, each meeting rigorous performance standards through 100% helium leak testing at 1 x 10⁴ ml/s.
Engineered for Extreme Conditions
The series delivers exceptional pressure ratings, with brass models handling 6,000 psi and steel/stainless-steel versions rated for 10,000 psi – all at temperatures up to 200°F. This robust performance makes the valves suitable for demanding applications in oil and gas, chemical processing, and high-pressure fluid systems.
Advanced Sealing Technology
Noshok’s design incorporates FKM o-ring seals combined with PTFE backup rings positioned below the stem threads. This dual-sealing approach provides superior protection against both corrosion and galling, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh operating environments.
Quality Assurance Through Rigorous Testing
Every valve in the 100 series undergoes comprehensive helium leak testing, verifying performance to exacting industry standards. This quality control measure ensures reliable operation in critical applications where even minor leaks could compromise system integrity.
Material Options for Specific Needs
The availability of three distinct materials allows engineers to select the optimal valve for their specific application requirements. The electropolished stainless-steel option offers particular advantages for ultra-clean or corrosive environments, while the zinc-nickel plated steel and brass versions provide cost-effective solutions for other industrial applications.
