BRV10PK Backing/Roughing Valve Pneumatic Operation
Edwards backing/roughing valves with ISO NW roughing and forepump terminations feature manual or pneumatic actuation. They combine the function of separate backing/roughing valves in one integral 3 port unit.
A flexible neoprene connector is supplied for the backing connection. The roughing and forepump ports terminate in the appropriate NW termination.
Features and Benefits
Easy to operate - both ports closed position
Long life - 100,000 operations or more
Position indicator on pneumatic valve
Leak tight to better than 10-9 mbar ls-1 /8 x 10-10 Torr ls-1
Applications
The valves have been designed particularly for the Diffstak® pumping systems, but have applications where a compact change-over valve is required in the pressure range 10-7 - 2000 mbar / 8 x 10-8 - 1500 Torr.
