High vacuum, helium leak-tested right angle valves VE have stainless steel bellows which seals the drive mechanism without any gap on the vacuum side. Due to the screw-thread mechanism, these valves offer a certain control of conductance. They are mountable in any position because of their air tightness in both positions. The body is either made of solid aluminum or stainless steel (VE WIG). The stainless steel valves are tungsten inert gas welded from the inside for maximum gas tightness and minimum degassing rates.
high conductance due to large stroke length
excellent gas tightness, minimum degassing
stainless steel version VE WIG bakeable
simple dismantling and easy changing of seal
dimensions of the VE valve are the same as elbow with corresponding nominal width
