Chemical Trim API Load/Unload Valve - API496C

 

The API496C is a Chemical Trim (FFKM) API Adaptor that conforms to API RP1004. It has been designed to be compatible with various chemicals, engineered to offer quality bottom loading through excellent performance and maximum safety and is supplied with a drain plug (1/2” BSPT), sightglass and sightglass blanking plate.

FFKM (a perfluoroelastomer commonly known as Ekraz or Kalrez) is one of the most chemically resistant materials available and is suitable for some of the harshest chemical compounds. FFKM is commonly used with aggressive, corrosive and reactive chemicals.

Operation
The spring loaded poppet can be opened by the handle for discharge, or by an API coupler for bottom loading or unloading. For safety, the handle does not move when a coupler actuates the poppet. The handle is a “pull up-to-open” design, which when used rotates an internal cam to open the poppet. The cam uses the over-centre principle to hold poppet in its open position while unloading. Dual o-ring seals on shaft prevent leaks.

Continuity
Electrical continuity guaranteed by use of non-anodised nose cone.

Mounting
Flange is 100mm TTMA standard. Mount so that when viewed from the front, the handle is on the right hand side and pointing down.
