Valves improve workplace safety
The majority of Albion Valves UK’s distributors have customers operating in industrial and construction workplaces, where explosive atmospheres are commonplace. This includes environments where industrial processes may release flammable gases or vapours.
A range of fire-safe, anti-static, stainless steel ball valves has been added to Albion's product portfolio, designed to withhold hazardous substances in the event of a fire around the valve.
The company also has a range of stainless steel valves that is ATEX certified for use in potentially explosive environments, and guaranteed not to spark if they come into contact with a combustible foreign body.
Albion’s range of safety valves is based on a traditional model but they have been improved to bring them up to date with modern valve design and performance. They come with a 2-piece spindle to ensure a safe, tamper-proof discharge.
The Gunmetal Safety Valve and the sister product the Gunmetal High Discharge Safety valve are both designed for use with steam, gas and liquids. The products are WRAS approved and can be also ATEX certified upon request. The valves can be operations in temperatures from -50°C to +195°C, with a maximum 16 bar pressure.
Working with gas is one of the most hazardous industrial occupations. Albion’s range of brass ball valves for gas applications is verified with industry standard EN331 from BSI (British Standards Institution) assuring products meet the optimum standards for quality and reliability and safety.
