This company has developed a modular, valve body concept based on its proven valve types 2000 INOX, Element and Classic. The multifunctional block 2000 INOX enables implementation of complex solutions using diameter DN10 within minimal space. The valve bodies are connected with each other by means of connecting rods. The system significantly reduces assembly time and conventional piping connecting elements, such as elbows and T-adapters are eliminated. In the multifunctional system solutions based on the Element and Classic valves using DN20 and DN25 sizes, several valve bodies are joined to form a block by means of an orbital welding process. The welded bodies make this valve solution extremely robust and compact, says the manufacturer. — Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, Ingelfingen, Germany
