Swagelok – SS‑BNS4‑C – 316L SS High‑Purity Bellows‑Sealed Pneumatic Valve
The Swagelok SS‑BNS4‑C is a high-purity, bellows-sealed valve from the BN series, engineered for ultra-clean fluid and gas control in demanding semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and aerospace applications. Featuring a pneumatic actuator that returns to a normally-closed position, it maintains a packless, all-metal seal to atmosphere, effectively eliminating leakage risks. Precision-engineered from 316L stainless steel, it’s ideal for UHP systems up to 200 °F (93°C) and pressures up to 125 psig (8.6 bar) .
