Remove Container Control Products without Opening the Container

Mounting_flange AGM’s low-cost mounting flange provides an inexpensive solution to servicing breather valves, color-change humidity indicator plugs, desiccators, test ports, & similar container control products.

The mounting flange can be easily installed through a hole in a container wall & held in place with its own nut, washer, & gasket. The container control products can then be screwed into & removed from the mounting flange without the container ever needing to be opened again.

The mounting flange can be provided with RFI/EMI shielding &/or NBC cleanup compatible materials & finishes.

AGM won NIPHLE’s 2001 Design Competition Excellence Awards for “Best of Show” & “Long-Life Packaging” for its design of the mounting flange.

Protect Containers from Standard Air Cargo Pressure Changes

High_flow_valve Rapid decompression, or explosive decompression, is becoming a more common requirement for airborne military packages. With a flow rate of up to 140 SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute), the TA790 Two-Way High Flow Valve will provide rapid decompression pressure relief for containers up to 50 ft³. It can also protect containers up to 1,100 ft³ from standard air cargo pressure changes.

Airborne transport of large volume containers, even without a rapid decompression requirement, need to move large volumes of air to keep from exploding or imploding due to atmospheric pressure changes with altitude. The TA790 Valve will automatically move large amounts of air in short periods of time to protect these large containers.
