Manifold for high-pressure instrumentation

Parker Instrumentation has launched a 3/8 inch (10 mm) bore double block and bleed manifold that can operate at up to 15,000 PSI (1,034 bar) cold working pressure.

At these pressures, instrumentation engineers typically build systems from discrete valve and tube fitting components. Compared with these, the new Hi-Pro 15KSI DBB manifold can save a great deal of space and weight, and can enhance integrity by eliminating numerous potential leak paths, the company says.

The Hi-Pro manifold is supplied with threadless connections for tubing. At 15,000 PSI pressures, many instrumentation engineers currently employ 'cone and thread' style fittings for tubing connections. These components can be time consuming to install, and require an additional gland component if installed in environments subject to vibration.
