UHV Leakvalves - Technical Specification
This specification applies to all versions of the leakvalves, manual, motor driven and pneumatically controlled.
In the range of turn 0 - 3 the diaphragm
does not touch the valve seat. Due to
physical reasons, control between
10 E-9 And 10 E-10 is not possible, if
used at room temperature (red range
in the diagram). In this case the valve
is tight approx at turn 9 to 10. Control
in this range is possible if the valve
is heated.
Maximum throughput is 60 mbar.l/s
