Automatic Air Bleed Valves
Pressures Up to 40,000 psi (2,758 bar)
The patented NuQuip® Automatic Air Bleed Valve routinely bleeds air entrapped in testing or expansion assemblies prior to pressurization. Designed to attach directly to TestMaster® Hydrostatic Test Tools or ExpanTek® Tube Expansion Tools, these valves have a maximum pressure rating of 40,000 psi (2,758 bar).
Major benefits to air removal are the pressurization process speeds up and the cycle time is reduced. During the pressurization phase, the smaller the amount of air trapped in the assembly the less dramatic a failure will be, should it occur. As compressed air stores more energy than compressed fluid.
An adjusting screw can be used to regulate the closing of the Automatic Air Bleed Valve. By turning the screw clockwise, the valve will require more flow to close. Turning the screw counter-clockwise, will reduce the amount of flow needed for the valve to close. This enables the user to find a point, at which the air will bypass and the liquid will close the valve.
