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)
  • Ultra low power level for inside application, suitable to connect to process fieldbus remote I/O or valve couplers
  • 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 (5/2) ; 760 l/min (5/3)(ANR) 1/2 = 3800 l/min (5/2, 5/3)

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.
