 Sapphire and Ruby will stand up to harsh environments without appreciable wear or corrosion of the orifice |
Bird Precision offers a unique series of laser drilled, wire lapped Ruby and Sapphire orifices. The orifices and filters are packaged in a variety of stainless, brass and plastic fittings, connectors and inserts.
With extreme chemical and wear resistance these products ensure precise dependable control of the most harsh liquids and gas. Unlike almost all other orifice materials (except perhaps diamond) Sapphire and Ruby will stand up to harsh environments without appreciable wear or corrosion of the orifice. Therefore the designer is insured that his calibrated instrument settings will not change once the product is shipped to the customer.
The orifices can be used in areas requiring the metering and precise control of gas and liquids. Applications are found in hydraulic valves, hydrostatic bearings, medical gas valves, analytical instruments, pneumatics regulators, high pressure jets, leak detection, ink jet, cell counting and medical instrumentation.
