Inline Loading Valve

The 10400 is an inline loading valve which can be manually adjustable between 0.5 and 10 Bar.

10400 Inline Loading Valve Introduction

The 10400 is an inline loading valve which is designed to give a dosing pump a constant back pressure to work against. Supplied complete with a with a hose fixing kit to connect directly to either 8 x 12mm or 4 x 6mm dosing tube means that installation of the 10400 inline is simple and straight forward.

The 10400 utilises a diaphragm to control the pressure that the pump is working against. With a manually adjustable mechanism controlling the force that the diaphragm exerts - the amount of pressure the loading valve presents can be accurately controlled. One significant benefit of the diaphragm controlled loading valve - is that the pressure that the inline loading valve offers is consistently reproduced.

The diaphragm is constructed from a PTFE coated elastomer proving excellent chemical resistance, low friction, constant back pressure and low vibration control, which makes it particularly good when working with solenoid dosing pumps.

10400 Wetted Parts

The 10400 is available with two parts numbers offering different seal materials to suit your chemical process.

The seal material is available in either EPDM or Viton (© DuPont / Chemours) and we recommend checking our chemical compatibility database and your chemical supplier, to ensure that all the parts of the liquid end are compatible with the chemical to be dosed.

10400 Features & Benefits

The 10400 is a loading valve which is designed primarily for precision control of solenoid dosing pumps such as our AT range. The accurate control of the loading valve means that the amount of chemical discharged per stroke can be accurately calculated and consistent reproduced.

The PTFE diaphragm and proven design ensure that the 10400 is suitable for industrial environments and offers a long operational life span.

Using a PTFE diaphragm as the control methodology ensures that the back pressure is consistent and repeatable. The 10400 also offers excellent performance in applications where oscillating or vibrating machinery such as solenoid dosing pumps are used.

The 10400 can be used as an anti-syphon valve where the installation type requires a working pressure to prevent syphoning. In addition the 10400 can work as a non-return valve as well as providing a back pressure for pipeline installations.

The 10400 can be installed in a bypass line to prevent pressure peaks for installation types that require them. Although technically the 10400 is a pressure relief valve it is not a safety valve in the sense of the pressure vessel directive.

Available with wetted parts in either PVDF or PVC with either Viton or EPDM seals - the 10400 inline loading valve is designed to be compatible with a wide range of chemical reagents.
