Metering valves for low flowrates

Metering valves for low flowrates

Metering valves for low flowrates

(OP)
I am trying to find metering valves for the injection of liquids at very low flowrates.  I have found SkoFlo valves so far but was wondering if anyone had any other information on where I could find similar type valves.  

RE: Metering valves for low flowrates

How low flowrates are you talking about... and what fluid? Neptune Flow Meters have a pretty good range.

RE: Metering valves for low flowrates

Here is the website of the manufacturer we used almost exclusively for bench scale and pilot plant work.  The valves are called “Research Control Valves”.

Thanks guys.  I'll check both those out.  

Chris Conley: the flowrates are ridiculously low - in the region of say 100 ml/hr!

For your application I suggest:
Swagelok S,M,L or their 31 series. Very low flow coeff.
 www.swageloc.com

Another is:
Hoke Micromite 1600 Series, Cv down to 0.0008
 www.hoke.com

The above listed products have micometer type stems with calibrations for stem rotation count, for fine adjustment and repeatability.

Disclaimer: I only use these companys products, I do not sell them.
