Valco Instrument Co. is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality, state-of-the-art valves used in analytical instrumentation. They manufacture a broad variety of valves with a range of options in design and materials of construction. While any of the valves which Valco manufactures is available from Global FIA, only those designed for FIA/SIA applications are listed in this catalog.

The C22/C22Z and C24 lines are designed for sample injection (FIA). The C22/C22Z valves take an external sample loop, while the C24 valves are internal sample injector valves for injecting very small fixed volumes (0.2, 0.5 and 1 ul). The C25/C25Z/C35Z line is designed for stream selection (SIA). The C22, C24, and C25 valves come with 1/4-28 ports, while the C22Z,C25Z, and C35Z valves come

SAMPLE INJECTION VALVES

Description
The Model C22 and C22Z Cheminert valves have rapidly established themselves as popular injection valves for FIA. Their success is attributable in part to their simple flat plate rotary design and rapid switching capability (micro-electric actuation model). The C22 valves with 1/4-28 threads, and the C22Z valves with 10-32 threads, are available with 4, 6, 8, or 10 ports. Nuts and ferrules are provided. Port diameters of either 0.030" or 0.060" are available for C22 valves and 0.030" for all C22Z valves. Standard specifications for all versions are 250 psi water at 75° C. On request, the pressure rating can be as high as 600 psi liquid.

Materials
Wetted components are manufactured from high-tech inert materials. Life tests indicate that these valves, when used with fluids free of particulate and not reactive to valve components (cannot be used in prolonged contact with high concentrations of sulfuric or nitric acids, DMSO, THF or methlyene chloride), typically give more than 60,000 movements before requiring any service.

Actuators
The valves are available in a manual model, as well as with the following actuators:

  • Micro-electric
  • Pneumatic

The 24 VDC micro-electric actuator is a new microprocessor controlled model with state-of-the-art "intelligent" electronics. Features include:

  • High speed switching - less than 100 milliseconds
  • Partial loop injection - with suitable software such as FlowTEK
  • Variable volume injection with a single loop-with FlowTEK
  • Automatic self-aligning
  • Manual control with position indicator
  • Remote control by contact closures or TTL level logic signals
  • RS-232 bi-directional communication
  • Universal power supply, 110/220 VAC to 24 VDC
  • Compact size

MULTIPOSITION VALVES

Description
The Model C25 and C25Z Cheminert valves are preferred valves for SIA, as well as stream selection valves for automated calibration systems and multiple sample stream analysis. Like the C22 series, they have a simple,flat plate rotary design.

The C25 valves with 1/4-28 threads and C25Z valves with 10-32 threads are available with 4,6,8,10 and 14 ports; the C35Z valve has 26 ports. Nuts and ferrules are provided. Port diameters of either 0.030" or 0.060" are available for C25 valves and 0.030" for all C25Z valves. Standard specifications for all versions are 250 psi water at 75° C, except the C35Z valve, which has specification of 100 psi at 50° C. On request, the pressure rating can be as high as 600 psi.

  • Pneumatic

The 24 VDC micro-electric actuator is a new microprocessor controlled model with state-of-the-art "intelligent" electronics. Features include:

  • High speed
  • Bi-directional (step either forward or backwards)
  • One actuator fits all valves
  • Automatic self-aligning
  • Manual control with LED position indicator, step and home functions, and clockwise and counter-clockwise functions.
  • Remote control by contact closures (step and home functions) and BCD 5V negative true output and input (position indication and access)
  • RS-232 bi-directional communication, with position indication output and position access input
  • Universal power supply, 110/220 VAC to 24 VDC
  • Compact size
