3 cm Rotary Valves

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides technical specifications and guidelines for IMI Adaptas rotary valves, designed for use with Cadent™ 3 syringe pumps and Kloehn 3 cm syringes. These valves are suitable for analytical, biotechnology, and diagnostics instruments.
Specifications:
  • Valves are bi-directional and not intended for use as shut-off or relief valves.
  • Rated to 100 psig (6.89 barg) and available in plug style with PTFE or face style with PPS/XP-113 or Ceramic.
  • Highly inert to most chemistries and designed for long life.
  • Available in distribution and non-distribution configurations.
Technical Features:
  • Physical dimensions: Diameter 1.40 in., Length varies from 1.78 in. to 2.30 in., Mass 30 grams.
  • Life cycle: Minimum 100,000 cycles for Plug and Plastic Face Seal, 500,000 for Ceramic Face Seal.
  • Environmental conditions: Operating temperature 10°C to 40°C, humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing.
  • Storage temperature: -33°C to 71°C.
  • WEEE & RoHS Compliant.
Chemical Specifications:
  • Orifice size varies, with port specifications of 1/4-28 flat bottom threaded ports.
  • Rated pressure from vacuum to 100 psig.
Valve Flow Configuration Types:
  • Distribution Valves: Connect the syringe port to other fluid ports through a central common port, allowing bi-directional flow.
  • Non-Distribution Valves: Connect adjacent ports to allow fluid flow between them, requiring an external pressure system for paths not involving the syringe port.
Product Variants:
  • Face seal valves available in ceramic and plastic, with various orifice sizes and internal volumes.
  • Plug valves available with different orifice sizes and internal volumes.
Materials: Wetted materials include PEEK, Alumina Ceramic, FFKM PTFE, PCTFE, and PTFE.
Warnings and Recommendations:
  • System designers should consider failure modes and provide safeguards to prevent injury or damage.
  • End-users must verify that all application requirements are met.
  • Products may contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm as per California Proposition 65.

Valve flow configuration types Distribution Distribution valves have a flow path configuration that connects the syringe port to any of the other fluid ports through a central common port. Flow is bi-directional for each connection. The naming of each valve type is determined by the number of ports available to connect with the syringe port (the syringe port is not counted). Non-Distribution A non-distribution valve connects adjacent ports on a valve to allow fluid to flow between them. Fluid may be drawn into the syringe only from one of the adjacent ports. Non-distribution valves allow a “bypass” fluid path where the fluid flows through the valve without entering the syringe. An external pressure system is required to move fluids through any flow paths not involving the syringe port. The naming of each valve type is determined by the number of possible fluid paths. Syringe Syringe Syringe Possible flow paths on a 3-Way Distribution Valve Possible flow paths on a 4-Way Non-Distribution Valve Our policy is one of continued research and development. We therefore reserve the right to amend, without notice, the specifications given in this document. (2023 - PDS-0031 REV. 6)
