Pressure Terminology 1. Maximum operating pressure differential The maximum pressure differential (the difference between the inlet and outlet pressure) which is allowed for operation. When the outlet pressure is 0 MPa, this becomes the maximum operating pressure. 2. Minimum operating pressure differential The minimum pressure differential (the difference between the inlet pressure and outlet pressure) required to keep the main valve fully opened. 3. Maximum system pressure The maximum pressure that can be applied inside the pipelines (line pressure). (The pressure differential of the solenoid valve portion must be less than the maximum operating pressure differential.) 4. Proof pressure The pressure in which the valve must be withstood without a drop in performance after holding for one minute under prescribed pressure and returning to the operating pressure range. (value under the prescribed conditions) Others 1. Material NBR: Nitrile rubber FKM: Fluororubber EPDM: Ethylene propylene rubber PTFE: Polytetrafluoroethylene resin FFKM: Perfluoroelastomer 2. Oil-free treatment The degreasing and washing of wetted parts. 3. Passage symbol In the symbol ( ) Port 1 (IN) and Port 2 (OUT) are shown in a blocked condition ( ), but it is not possible to use the valve in cases of reverse pressure, where the Port 2 pressure is higher than the Port 1 pressure. Electrical Terminology 1. Apparent power (VA) Volt-ampere is the product of voltage (V) and current (A). Power consumption (W): For AC, W = V・A・cosθ. For DC, W = V・A. Note) cosθ shows power factor. cosθ = 0.6 2. Surge voltage A high voltage which is momentarily generated by shutting off the power in the shut-off area. 3. Enclosure A degree of protection defined in the “JIS C 0920: Waterproof test of electric machinery/appliance and the degree of protection against the intrusion of solid foreign objects”. Verify the degree of protection for each product. Series VXE Glossary of Terms Example) IP65: Dusttight, Low jetproof type “Low jetproof type” means that no water intrudes inside an equipment that could hinder from operating normally by means of applying water for 3 minutes in the prescribed manner. Take appropriate protection measures, since a device is not usable in an environment where a droplet of water is splashed constantly. Second characteristic numeral IP First characteristic numeral �� First Characteristics: Degrees of protection against solid foreign objects 0123456 Non-protected Protected against solid foreign objects of 50 mm o and greater Protected against solid foreign objects of 12 mm o and greater Protected against solid foreign objects of 2.5 mm o and greater Protected against solid foreign objects of 1.0 mm o and greater Dust-protected Dusttight �� Second Characteristics: Degrees of protection against water 012345678 Non-protected Protected against vertically falling water drops Protected against vertically falling water drops when enclosure tilted up to 15° Protected against rainfall when enclosure tilted up to 60° Protected against splashing water Protected against water jets Protected against powerful water jets Protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water Protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water Dripproof type 1 Dripproof type 2 Rainproof type Splashproof type Low jetproof type Strong jetproof type Immersible type Submersible type . 241 VX2 VXK VXD VXZ VXS VXE VXP VXR VXH VXF2 VX3 VXA A
