NuQuip®Automatic Air Bleed Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the NuQuip® Automatic Air Bleed Valve, a tool designed to remove air from testing or expansion assemblies, thereby expediting the pressurization process and reducing cycle times. It is compatible with TestMaster® and ExpanTek® tools and meets various industry specifications.
Specifications:
  • Pressure Capacity: Up to 40,000 psi (2,758 bar)
  • Material: Heat-treated stainless steel
  • Services: Suitable for water and other liquids
Valve Configuration:
  • Connection Type: Screw-on tool attachment
  • Flow Rate Options: Low, medium, high
  • Port Styles: NPT, MS, HP, MP, JIC
Operating Conditions:
  • Temperature Range: 32º F to 120º F (0º C to 49º C)
Description: The valve is designed to automatically bleed entrapped air before pressurization, which is crucial for safety during testing. It minimizes the risk of dramatic failures by reducing the amount of air in the system.
Operation: The valve's closing can be adjusted using a screw. Turning the screw clockwise increases the flow required to close the valve, while counter-clockwise reduces it, allowing for precise control over the air and liquid flow.

NuQuip®Automatic Air Bleed Valves-1

High-Pressure Accessories “UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY UNDER PRESSURE!” Automatic Air Bleed Valves  Pressures up to 40,000 psi (2,758 bar)  Services: water and other liquids  Heat-treated stainless steel construction  Compatible with TestMaster® and ExpanTek® Tools The NuQuip® Automatic Air Bleed Valves are designed to attach directly to Airmo TestMaster® Hydrostatic Test Tools or ExpanTek® Expansion Tools with working pressures up to 40,000 psi (2,758 bar). Special valve configurations available upon request. The NuQuip® Automatic Air Bleed Valve is a screw-on tool attachment that removes air in testing or expansion assemblies; and is used to speed up the pressurization process, thus reducing cycle times. This tool accessory conforms to military, nuclear, automotive, and aerospace testing specifications such as API, ASTM, ASME, ISO, DIN, and BS. The Air Bleed Valve automatically bleeds entrapped air in testing or expansion assemblies prior to pressurization. This is extremely important during testing when pressurizing a part to failure; as compressed air stores more energy than compressed liquid. The less air present in the system, the less dramatic a failure will be, should it occur. OPERATION An adjusting screw can be used to regulate the closing of the Automatic Air Bleed Valve. By turning the screw clockwise  the valve will require more flow to close. Turning the screw counter-clockwise  will reduce the amount of flow needed for the valve to close. This enables the user to find a point, at which the air will bypass and the liquid will close the valve.
