Soft Seal Design Feature and Advantages

From Clark Solutions
 

 
The soft seal option is particularly useful in analytical and clinical chemistry applications where inert valve materials are needed but particulate matter may be present in the fluid stream. Particulate matter typically damages soft material such as PTFE resulting in valve leakage in the valve seat area. The Soft Seal option is available or standard on most Takasago models.
