All That You Should Know About Gas Cylinder Valves

Gases constantly seek ways to escape from or enter into a gas supply system. Cylinder valves are devices that control the flow of the gases into or out of the cylinder. Pertaining to the escaping nature of gases, cylinder valves are gaining importance like never before.

What are the types available?

Packed Valves – These valves are mostly found on acetylene cylinders (B & MC) and corrosive products such as ammonia or chlorine. They typically have a specially designed wrench which has to be removed during shipping & storage.

Pressure-seal Valves – This is a common valve found on most of the cylinders and can be operated using a handwheel at very high pressure levels.

Diaphragm Valves – You can find these valves on cylinders which demand high levels of protection against leakage such as cylinders containing gas mixtures, high purity gases and rare gases such as krypton and xenon.

Post-type Medical Valves – These pin-indexed valves are used in some medical gas products to ensure supply of the right gas to a particular apparatus.

For your convenience and safety, JTC Valves maintains a well-managed inventory of cylinder valves manufactured in the USA by Sherwood and Rego, leading brands in valve manufacturing. All the valves you find here are certified by ASME & ISO 9001 certified.

COPD And Medical Oxygen Cylinders

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which is a serious disease of the lungs that makes breathing harder. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are also COPD as the lungs don’t function as well, requiring oxygen to be supplied to the lungs artificially.

Recent studies have shown that COPD causes muscle dysfunction which causes the person to reduce their physical activity which further impairs muscles. Muscles require metabolites and oxygen to work efficiently. Metabolites are supplied by the food we eat, oxygen has to be supplemented medical oxygen cylinders tanks. Long term oxygen therapy has shown to improve metabolism and muscle function.

Medical Oxygen Cylinder Tank w/post Valve and on/off Toggle (E Size 24 CF) is an option available for COPD patients. Whether you are at home, traveling in a car or on a flight, this 24.9” oxygen cylinder is the most convenient option for you. This aluminum medical oxygen tank comes with CGA 870 post valve with an off/off toggle inserted. The medical oxygen cylinder has a diameter of 4.38”, length of the cylinder is 24.9” with 90 cu feet storage capacity. Made from aluminum alloy 6061-T6, with standardized inlet threads, this light weight cylinder is easy to carry around no matter where you go.

If you are a COPD patient, you need not worry about how you will travel. With Medical Oxygen Cylinder Tank w/post Valve and on/off Toggle you can adjust your oxygen and enjoy the new destination you plan to fly with your family, colleagues or friends.

A few tips for the traveler flying with an oxygen cylinder

Buy the oxygen medical tank about two weeks before your scheduled trip
Get familiar using it as well as ensure that it is working fine
Take extra and new batteries for the flying time. The airlines advise 150% of the battery capacity that you may otherwise require
The charger should be handy for you to plug it in at the airport when waiting for the flight/boarding
If you require oxygen all the time, make sure you have made arrangements for a refill at the destination port
Fill in the medical form that is required by the airline
Request a window seat so you do not hinder the movement of fellow passengers
Request a wheelchair as this will speed you through security, as well as prevent desaturation of oxygen levels.
Carry a pulse oximeter to check oxygen saturation regularly during the flight and adjust it when required

Draft Beer Equipments, Tap Beer Regulators Are Most Crucial!

The winter is at the fag end, very soon we will be facing the dreaded summer of USA and find solace in tap beer. Why not brew your own beer and party with family/friends when you feel like? Brewing beer is not as complicated as it sound, especially if you have the right equipment. A brief about the beer brewing set to quench your thirst!

Tap handle : It is also called as the faucet handle, the lever when pulled forward pours the beer is screwed into the draft beer faucet.

Draft beer faucet : it is the tap from which the beer is dispensed. There are different qualities of draft beer faucets available with different features.

Shank : This part connects the beer line to the faucet. It is usually a chrome plated brass tube.

Beer line: A piece of food grade plastic tubing, which connects the rear end of the shank to the keg coupler.

Keg coupler: The keg coupler is attached to the flange atop the keg to let the gas in.

Air line: Is a food grade tubing that connects the regulator to the coupler for air flow that helps in dispensing the beer.

Regulator: The regulator connects the beer dispenser parts to the CO2 or nitrogen tank, which ensures that the brew is dispensed at the correct pressure and lets you know how much gas is remaining in the tank for dispensing efficiency.

Why the regulator is crucial for beer brewing?

The amount of gas dispensed into the beer determines the taste and stability of the draught beer. Different beers require different gases to be blended to develop the flavor for that beer. A nitrogen beer like Guinness will have a lesser percentage of carbon dioxide and more of nitrogen. Different pressures are required to dispense the different kinds of beers. A higher pressure is required for stout beer to acquire a creamy, cascading froth. The right blend of CO1 and nitrogen applied at the correct pressure will give a high quality beer that tastes great.

Types of tap beer regulators:

E-3741BR - Primary Co2 Beer Regulator for Home Dispense

E-742HPN - Nitrogen Beer Regulators

E-T741 - Commercial Grade Single Gauge Co2 Draft Beer Kegerator Regulator

E-T742 - Beer Keg CO2 Regulators

An Insight Into Industrial Gas Valves

Valves are devices that control the flow of liquids or gases in a system. Valves used in almost all industries ranging from farming, water, chemical, food and beverage industries. We never bother to give a thought to valves though they are a crucial part for the successful and safe running of any system.

How are valves made?

Valves have many parts which are made of plastic or metal. The outer part is usually made of metal and is called the seat. This is usually a solid outer casing which seats an inner soft seal made of plastic or rubber which ensures tight closure of the valve. The body is that part of the valve which opens or closes the valve and snugly fits in the seat when closed. The opening and closing of the valve is a mechanical movement which is controlled by a lever, handwheel, faucet or an automated mechanism.

What material is used to make valves?

The Valve body is generally constructed from bronze, brass, iron, stainless steel or plastic. The valve may be made from one material or a combination of materials. The trim that is exposed to the flow media is made from material that is resistant to the corrosion due to the flow media.

Classification of valves

Valves can be classified as per their design and functions. They can also be classified as per the material that is used for construction, the end connection or the temperature-pressure rating. The valve is stated by the NPS (nominal pipe size) which must match the NPS of the line in which it is to be connected.

Every material has a pressure limit and temperature limit according to which various valves are designed for various purposes. If the valve is exposed to pressure or temperature that exceeds the limit specified in the manual, the valve will not function efficiently.

Working of safety valves

Valves are used in systems that contain flammable liquids, toxic chemicals, high pressure steam, compressed air or such contents that cannot be allowed to escape. Valves are controlled manually or automatically. A closed valve should not let any liquid or gas escape or flow through once it is closed. Pressure builds up in the container due to change in temperature, movement or storage. Any increase in pressure may lead to the catastrophic bursting of the container/cylinder which causes loss of life and property. A safety valve that is used in these systems, automatically opens to release the pressure inside the container thereby prevent explosion.

Valves and safety valves are integral for the safe and reliable working of any system. JTC valve sales is the leading stockist for best quality industrial gas valves that are manufactured by Sherwood and Rego. The different types of valves are:

1206A Series, Ammonia Valves
