KLINGER AB-COCKS
Robust shut-off valves for the measurement engineering
AB-Cocks are simple constructed, robust shut-off cocks which are specially designed for the measurement engineering. Due to their reliability and economic efficiency they are applied by the million.
Operating Principle
A cylindrical cock plug and an elastic packing sleeve enable a fast opening and closing over a 90° movement. This is ensured by using a stop which is rigidly attached by a circlip (valid for straight way cocks AB). Type MAB cocks for gauge meters have no integrated stop (type MABAL is excepted). The operation is carried out with a removeable handle. All KLINGER AB-Cocks are closed by turning clockwise with the exception of types ABIE and MABAL which are closed counterclockwise.
Product Advantages AB-cocks
- 90° operation ensures immediate opening and closing procedure
- Generously dimensioned sealing surface which guarantees leak-tightness across the bore and to the atmosphere, hence: no false instrument readings
- Hand operation enables throttling, therefore usage in blow-down lines possible
- Simple design (only one moving part) ensures high operation safety and long durability
- The packing sleeve, the only part which is subjected to wear, can be replaced within minutes with the AB-Cock staying in line.
- No jamming caused by corrosion
- Special designs for applicions with pressure gauges, indicators and liquid level gauges are available
A wide application range
- Processing industry
- Automation
- Shipbuilding industry
- Diesel engines
- Compressed-air supply
- Instrumentation and control
- Energy generating industry
- Oil and gas refineries
Please note that the maximum operating temperature of each KLINGER AB-cock depends on the respective operating pressure as well as on the materials of body or sealing. The pressure and temperature limits are shown in the P-/T-diagrams which can be found in the respective product catalog.
