5-Valve Manifolds

5-Valve Manifolds

Five-valve manifolds are designed for managing differential pressure measurement instruments in industrial process control applications. Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, these manifolds integrate two block valves, two equalizing valves, and one vent valve within a single, compact unit. This configuration provides operators with comprehensive control capabilities for isolating, equalizing, venting, and calibrating differential pressure transmitters and related instrumentation.

Their integrated design significantly reduces the complexity and number of external connections, thereby minimizing potential leak points and ensuring high reliability, simplifying routine tasks such as calibration, zeroing, instrument replacement, and maintenance, as operators can safely isolate instruments from process pressures, equalize high- and low-pressure sides, and vent any residual media safely and efficiently. These capabilities streamline procedures, significantly reducing downtime and improving overall process reliability and instrument accuracy.

Five-valve manifolds find extensive usage across industries that demand precise and reliable pressure measurements, including oil and gas, chemical processing, petrochemical refining, power generation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and water treatment. In these critical industries, process safety, accuracy, and operational efficiency are paramount, and instrument reliability is non-negotiable.

Typical applications for five-valve manifolds include flow measurement through orifice plates, level monitoring in pressurized vessels, pressure transmitter isolation and calibration, and differential pressure monitoring across filters or heat exchangers.
