Design of the fully rotary valve for calibration purposes in flow analysis

Abstract

Design of the fully rotary valve (FRV) that has been developed in our laboratory as a part of a manifold of flow analysis is presented. It can serve as both a directive and an injection valve. In both versions, it can be used for various calibration purposes that can make analytical procedures simpler, faster, and more effective. In this report, some concepts are described that allow one to perform a single-component analysis with the use of a single standard solution. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
