AS-Schneider Multi-Way Cocks are designed, manufactured and tested with respect to the relevant standards applicable in this field. All the Multi-Way Cocks are for direct mounting according to DIN EN 61518 (IEC 61518).

According to DIN EN 61518 the Multi-Way Cock-Transmitter interface is applicable for a max. allowable (Working) Pressure (PS) of 420 bar and a max. allowable Temperature (TS) of 120°C for liquids, gas or vapors. The max. allowable Temperature (TS) of 120°C is considering the requirement that the Multi-Way Cocks and Transmitters need to be protected against heating by hot media. This can be achieved by using adequate hook-ups or by instrument impulse lines with sufficient length. However the AS-Schneider Multi-Way Cocks can be used for temperatures up to 200°C, the max. allowable (Working) Pressure (PS) is 100 bar respectively for the Low-Pressure Multi-Way Cock 25 bar.

Just quarter turn operations are sufficient to switch from one position to the next one – operating errors are therefore minimized.
