ASCO 8316G064 316 Series 8316 Series General Purpose solenoid valve

The ASCO 8316G064 is a solenoid valve within the 316 Series (also branded as the 8316 Series), designed for general-purpose industrial applications. Below is a detailed overview of its features, specifications, and typical uses, based on the common characteristics of the 316/8316 Series:

Product Overview

Type: Typically a direct-acting or pilot-operated solenoid valve (design varies by model; the 8316 Series often includes both configurations).

Function: Controls the flow of fluids (air, water, oil, steam, or non-corrosive media) in industrial systems, offering reliable on/off operation.

Series Characteristics: Known for durability, versatility, and compatibility with a wide range of fluids and operating conditions.

Key Specifications

(General to the 316/8316 Series; always consult the datasheet for model-specific details like 8316G064.)

1. Construction & Materials

Body Material:

Brass (standard for general use) or stainless steel (316SS) (if "G" in the part number indicates a corrosion-resistant variant).

Seal Material:

NBR (Buna-N) (standard for moderate temperatures and non-aggressive fluids) or Viton® (for high-temperature or chemical resistance).

Port Size:

Likely 1/4" to 3/4" (common for the series; the suffix "064" may denote specific port dimensions or connection type, e.g., 3/8" NPT).

2. Pressure & Temperature Limits

Pressure Range:

Direct-acting: 0–125 psi (0–8.6 bar) (suitable for low-pressure or vacuum applications).

Pilot-operated: Requires minimum inlet pressure (e.g., 10–150 psi / 0.7–10.3 bar, depending on the model).

Temperature Range:

Standard: -20°C to +80°C (-4°F to +176°F).

High-temperature variants: Up to +150°C (+302°F) with Viton® seals.

3. Flow & Performance

Flow Capacity (Cv Value):

Varies by port size (e.g., Cv = 1.0–3.5 for typical 3/8" to 1/2" ports).

Actuation:

Direct-acting (no minimum pressure required) or pilot-operated (relies on upstream pressure for operation).

4. Electrical Specifications

Coil Voltage:

Common options: 24V DC, 120V AC, 230V AC (50/60Hz). The model "8316G064" may specify a default voltage (e.g., 24V DC).

Power Consumption:

~10–15W (AC coils) or ~3–5W (DC coils for energy efficiency).

Electrical Connection:

Plug-in (DIN-style) or lead wires; some models feature weatherproof or explosion-proof connectors.

Certifications:

May include CE, UL, CSA, or ATEX (for hazardous environments, if applicable).
