ADAMS valves for oxygen

The handling of oxygen in industries represents a strong fire and explosion hazard if not handled with great caution. Oxygen by itself is not flammable but it supports incineration if even the slightest type of pollution is given in the pipeline. To avoid danger and minimise the risks, you should choose the ADAMS oxygen-approved valves. Just recently, we have manufactured three high-quality tight shut-off valves type MAK DN150 to DN200 for oxygen application in a refinery. 

We manufacture all parts of our oxygen valves in contact with the oxygen of appropriate metallic materials (mostly stainless steel or Monel), all sealing materials are approved by BAM for oxygen application. The wetted components were ultrasonic cleaned and afterwards checked by UV-light in a clean room. The assembling and testing will also be performed in a clean room.

Only special BAM approved lubricant is used in very small amounts during assembly. Seat leak test is carried out only with gas. At the end each valve will be packed sterile with welded foil and marked to indicate that the same is free of oil and grease. ADAMS manufactures high-quality valves for critical applications for more than 60 years now and stands out for individual solutions with great durability. Please contact ADAMS if you need a special designed valve for your application.
