Chemical- and fluid-resistant
solenoid valves
The 221G range of stainless steel
solenoid valves from Parker Hannifin
offer resistance to corrosion and
aggressive chemicals and, with ATEX
certification, are suited to use in
explosive environments.
With a durable high-grade 316L
stainless steel construction and
fluoroelastomer (FKM) sealing to provide
fluid and chemical resistance, the 221G
series combines long life and reduced
maintenance requirements in harsh
operating environments.
Typical applications include those
found in oil and gas, petrochemical,
food processing and pharmaceutical
installations, and other applications
where aggressive liquids, chemicals and
gases are present.
Due to their high flow rates of up to
170 litres/min, the valves provide an
opportunity to reduce the overall size
of customer installations. 221G series
valves are based on technology that has
evolved over 40 years and is used in a
sister range offered in brass.
The modular design of the valves
allows assembly to a large range of
coils including many with ATEX, IP67
and UL/VDE approvals. This makes
them suitable for use in applications
where cleaning agents are present, such
as in car wash installations, industrial
washing machines or food processing.
The 221G series in stainless steel is
available in a two-way, normally closed
format, with port sizes ranging from 3/8"
to 1".
Valéry Blanchet, marketing product
manager for Parker’s fluid control
division Europe, said, “This new stainless
steel version makes the 221G series
exceptionally durable for applications
where aggressive cleaning agents are
present, and particularly for rigorous
‘wash-down’ environments. They also
provide a long life and reliable solution
in ATEX environments.”

Slickline grade for extreme
oil and gas environments
Sandvik, a developer and producer of
stainless steels, special alloys, titanium
and other high-performance materials,
is launching its new slickline grade
Sanicro™ 56Mo, a nickel-chromium-
molybdenum alloy suitable for service
in corrosive oil and gas environments.
Sanicro 56Mo was developed as an
alternative to more costly grades, but
is claimed to have equal abilities. It
is able to withstand a wide range
of aggressive conditions in downhole
settings, making it suitable for service
in the toughest oil and gas wells.
“For many years, the industry has faced
formidable challenges when tackling
very sour and corrosive oil and gas
conditions,” said Nigel Haworth, global
business unit head, oil and gas, Sandvik.
“Sanicro 56Mo will not only provide one
of the highest mechanical strengths
in the industry, but it is also more
cost-efficient than equivalent products.
This is especially important given the
current economic climate in the oil and
gas sector.”
Sandvik’s next-generation high-
performance materials are designed
to meet the operational demands
presented by the pressure in extreme
water depths below 10,000 feet, and at
temperatures above 400°F.
“Sanicro 56Mo contains high levels of
nickel, molybdenum and chromium,
making it highly resistant to even the
sourest of wells, at temperatures up
to 475°F, or 250°C,” explained Patrik
Kjellström, application specialist, energy
wire, Sandvik.
