Shand & Jurs has announced improvements to its 94270 Tank Blanketing Valve.

The 94270 Tank Blanketing Valve now incorporates a new internal Teflon® O-ring coating which improves the performance of the unit and reduces maintenance time and costs.

This new Teflon® coating is now part of Shand & Jurs’ standard offering for its 0.5  in., 1 in. and 2 in. tank blanketing valves. The 94270 is also available with accessories including filters, check valves and pressure gauges.

'Tank blanketing' is a process used to maintain a gas barrier in the vapour space of a pressure-tight storage tank. It prevents evaporation, reduces emissions, corrosion, contamination or oxidation and provides gas make-up when internal tank pressure drops. The S&J 94270 Tank Blanketing Valve provides primary vacuum relief by controlling the flow of blanketing gas into the tank during product movement out of the tank.
