In short, instrumentation valves are installed between the process and the measuring instruments (such as pressure gauges, pressure sensors, pressure switches, process transmitters, etc.). This allows for quick replacement of equipment or removal for calibration without interrupting operation. It also enables the discharge of media within the measuring instrument from the valve or the venting of piping. WIKA offers the following instrumentation valves and their combinations: - Stop cock - Needle valve - Shut-off valve - Block & bleed valve - Valve manifold - Monoflange - Ball valve - Connection of measuring instruments

basic information
In Europe, DIN shut-off valves with handwheels are common. Globally, needle valves are often used for the separation of processes and instruments. Special valves like block and bleed valves can vent from the instrument even under high-pressure conditions. Valve manifolds have two pressure connection points and are used for connecting differential pressure gauges. A pressure compensation valve is used to equalize the positive and negative pressure sides. If you want to enable space-saving installation, a monoflange is recommended. It is mainly used in the process industry and attaches the instrument to the process via a flange connection. Especially for large pipe diameters, the use of ball valves is recommended. Ball valves can quickly and safely seal the process, and a cock can be used to open and close the valve. If it is necessary to prevent fugitive emissions, WIKA valves are equipped with this special safety feature. This involves fitting the valve with seals made from special materials and testing them according to applicable standards. These valves are identified by an orange ring.
