Quick Advance QA Series

The Quick Advance Series rapidly advances the piston through most of its travel, reducing the number of handwheel turns required to reach the sampling position. The Quick Advance mechanism makes operation significantly faster and easier, while maintaining the clean, representative sampling that piston valves are known for.

Traditional piston valves use a handwheel and a threaded stem to move the piston linearly. While reliable, this design often demands much more operator effort than quarter-turn ball valves. However, ball valves can trap material around the ball and often require purging before a representative sample can be obtained. Piston valves avoid this issue entirely, as the piston completely fills the valve and connection bores, leaving virtually no dead space and providing a natural self-cleaning action on every closing stroke.

Strahman’s Quick Advance Sampling Valves offer all of the features typically found in piston-type sampling valves, with the convenience of a quick open/close feature of a ball valve. The QA series uses a rack-and-gear combination to maintain the piston’s linear motion and provides the valve with a full-piston design while traveling just 1/3 turn. This results in less time and labor required to collect a true, representative sample.

All QA Series Valves feature a safety stop detent that prevents the valve from opening under process pressure. The QA-700 is rated to ANSI Class 300 and is available in the same materials as Strahman’s standard Sampling Valve line. The QA Series is available with standard packing rings and zero or two-inch piston extensions. Conversion kits for existing valves are also available.

A Strahman Sampling Valve provides users with safe, effective, and consistent product sample extractions from the pipeline under high-pressure or high-vacuum conditions without fear of contamination or internal blockage.
