Autoclave Engineers Instrument Quality Pressure Gauge Snubber - SNB

Parker Autoclave Engineers Instrument Quality Pressure Gauge Snubber - SNB Series are offered in 316 stainless steel as standard, with either male, female or male/female connections in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes. The pressure snubbers provide protection to gauges and instrumentation from pressure surges, pulsation and shock. The unique snubber design provides superior instrument protection while not compromising instrument accuracy or reaction time. This is accomplished by the use of existing technology from our excess flow check valve with additional design features. When sudden flow is seen, the poppet will rise, blocking the pressure surge and a small bleed hole in the poppet will allow pressure to slowly equalize. When the pressure is equalized, the poppet will then drop back down allowing normal flow to the gauge. A filter is used to prevent the hole in the plug from becoming plugged. The snubber must be mounted in the vertical position as indicated on the unit. Optional materials available upon request.
