Parket Instrumentation has launched ball and needle instrumentation valves optimised for high pressure fluid control applications operating at up to 20,000 PSI/1379 bar. Available configured with Parker's innovative high-pressure Phasite tube connector ends that offer outstanding performance in vibration environments, the valves offer exceptional integrity to meet the higher pressure hydraulic control and other demanding instrumentation applications that are increasingly being faced in the offshore oil and gas sector.

The new ball and needle valves - 20K Hi-Pro Ball Valve and 20K H-Series Needle Valve -- are fabricated from 316 stainless steel as standard, and offered in NACE (corrosion) complaint and HCT (heat code traceable) versions.

Available with ¼, 3/8 or 9/16 inch, or 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm tube connections, the valves' 6 mm bore sizes provide maximum flow rates (Cv) of 0.66 for the needle version, and 1.6 for the ball valve.
