MAXPRO Technologies manufactures and distributes Maximator® GmbH high pressure air amplifiers, gas boosters, and liquid pumps. From powering industrial machinery to deep-sea exploration, MAXIMATOR's ultra high pressure solutions are used in various applications. Some high pressure components MAXPRO produces include valves, adapters, tubing, fittings, and couplings.
Ultra High Pressure Valves
The design of the ultra high pressure valves incorporates a rising stem, which is a common feature in valves that need to withstand high pressure. The non-rotating stem design prevents stem-to-seat galling, further enhancing the valve’s durability. The valves are rated to 101,000 psi, which makes them robust and reliable.
The wetted parts of the valves, designated as HP160, are made with a 17-4 PH stem known for its excellent corrosion resistance. The seating is metal-to-metal, which ensures a bubble-tight shut-off. To ensure reliable stem-to-body sealing, PTFE and carbon packing with metal back-up rings are used. The stem sleeve and packing gland materials have been carefully selected to achieve optimum thread cycle life and reduced handle torque. For safety, weep holes are provided for all pressure connections and the packing area.
Ultra High Pressure Fittings
MAXIMATOR offers a range of ultra high pressure fittings designed to withstand up to 101,000 psi. These fittings are available for 1/4"-, 3/8"-, and 9/16"- UHP connections, making them versatile for different tubing sizes. Each fitting is crafted with coned and threaded type connections, accompanied by glands and collars. The standardization of mounting holes across all tees, elbows, and crosses further simplifies installation and maintenance.
Below is a table showing tubing sizes and their category numbers:
For systems requiring even higher pressure thresholds, MAXIMATOR extends its product line to accommodate pressures up to 152,000 psi for 5/16" UHP connections. These fittings are compatible with the 101V series ultra high pressure valves and tubing. The coned and threaded connections, paired with the necessary glands and collars, provide a robust solution for demanding applications.
Ultra High Pressure Tubing
MAXPRO’s ultra pressure tubing comes in various sizes, including 1/4", 3/8", and 9/16" UHP connections for pressures up to 101,000 psi, and a 5/16" UHP connection for pressures up to 152,000 psi. Their cold-drawn, thick-wall design ensures durability and optimal flow areas, which are crucial for complementing the ultra high pressure valve and fitting line. The manufacturing process adheres to strict standards and quality control measures. This ensures each piece of tubing meets the exacting requirements of ultra high pressure coned and threaded connections.
MAXPRO’s standard material for these components is HP160 stainless steel for the 101,000 psi range and 316 stainless steel for the 152,000 psi range. These materials are chosen for their strength and corrosion resistance, vital for maintaining integrity under high pressure conditions. For those with specific requirements, MAXPRO provides the option to request special materials, subject to availability based on the specific diameters, material, and lengths needed.
Ultra High Pressure Adapters & Couplings
Ultra high pressure adapters and couplings are engineered to withstand up to 152,000 psi. The couplings, designed with a female-to-female configuration, facilitate the connection of two male ends, be it tubing or pipe. On the other hand, the male-to-male adapters are crafted to join two female fittings.
Available in various sizes, including 1/4", 3/8", and 9/16" O.D., the components are versatile and can be tailored to various industrial needs, ensuring reliability and safety in high-stakes operations. The components are distinguished by their coned and threaded connections, which provide a leak-proof seal capable of withstanding high pressure environments.
