[ad_1] High pressure solenoid valves are designed for aggressive, high pressure environments such as medical facilities and laboratories. They have a linear lift piston valve and use solenoid actuation. The valve chamber, seat, and piston are made of sturdier materials to withstand extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive substances. The internal mechanism is significantly different from […]
[ad_1] High pressure solenoid valves are designed for aggressive, high pressure environments such as medical facilities and laboratories. They use solenoid actuation and have sturdier parts made of materials suited to extreme pressures and temperatures. The valves operate electromagnetically and have closer tolerances and thicker materials than low-pressure counterparts. Valve housing is made from materials […]
