ASCO 551 553 SOLENOID VALVES

  • The monostable spool valves in conformity with IEC 61508 Standard (2010 route 2H version) have TÜV (551 series) and EXIDA (551-553 series) certified with integrity levels: SIL 2 for HFT = 0 / SIL 3 for HFT = 1
  • ASCO 551 553  spool valves 3/2 NC have threaded port connections
  • All the exhaust ports of this spool valve are connectable, providing better environmental protection, particularly recommended for sensitive areas such as clean rooms, and applications in the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors
  • The valve offers environmental protection against the ingress of liquids, dusts or any other foreign matter (environmentally-protected construction)
  • Can be externally piloted (external air pilot supply) to convert valve to zero minimum operation by flipping a gasket
  • ASCO 551 553 solenoid valves satisfy all relevant EC Directives

Differential Pressure :    2 – 10.4 bar [1 bar = 100 kPa]

Flow (Qv at 6 bar): 1/4 = 860 l/min (ANR)

1/2 = 3800 l/min

Fluids Temperature Range (TS) Valve Seal Materials
air, inert gas, filtered -25°C to +60°C NBR Nitrile + PUR Polyurethane

ASCO 551-553 solenoid valves are available with NAMUR interface. NAMUR, translated from the German acronym to StandardiSation Association for Measurement and Control in Chemical Industries, is the specification for a standard interface between pneumatic actuators, solenoid valves and directional control valves.
