ASCO introduces Micro 10 rocker isolation valve

ASCO introduced its line of Micro 10 rocker isolation valves. The Micro 10 rocker isolation valve's envelope size is almost 40% smaller than comparable 16 mm designs, but with orifice diameters reduced by only 10%.

This reduction allows equipment and instrument manufacturers to pack more valves into the same space for greater functionality, or helps reduce laboratory costs by shrinking the size of the equipment or instrument. The new valve's smaller internal volume enables more effective flushing of materials through the device. This eliminates the waste of expensive reagents and fluids that might collect in a larger valve body.

The Micro 10 rocker isolation valve is engineered with more robust hardware that makes it easier to mount during the assembly process. Its stronger fasteners and threads maintain valve integrity during the customer's production process, reducing defects and improving manufacturing productivity. Pad mount configuration allows for modularization, which simplifies design, assembly, and service for manufacturers. Other options include various mounting and flow configurations, as well as orifice sizes, to better suit customer applications.

The valve can be used to control acids and bases, as well as analytical reagents. It is ideal for controlling aggressive fluids or when high purity is required.
