R804      *Only use specific pneumatic devices. The only pneumatic system items permitted on ROBOTS include the following items:

A.     pneumatic pressure vent plug valves functionally equivalent to those provided in the KOP,

B.     pressure relief valves functionally equivalent to those provided in the KOP,

C.     solenoid valves with a maximum ⅛ in. (nominal, ~3 mm) NPT, BSPP, or BSPT port diameter or integrated quick connect ¼ in. (nominal, ~6mm) outside diameter tubing connection,

D.     additional pneumatic tubing, with a maximum ¼ in. (nominal, ~6 mm) outside diameter,

E.     pressure transducers, pressure gauges, passive flow control valves (specifically “needle valve”), manifolds, and connecting fittings (including COTS pneumatic U-tubes),

F.     check and quick exhaust valves, provided that the requirements of R813 are still met.

G.     shutoff valves which relieve downstream pressure to atmosphere when closed (may also be known as 3-way or 3-way exhausting valves),

H.    pressure regulators with the maximum outlet pressure adjusted to no more than 60 psi (~413 kPa, 4.1 Bar),

I.       pneumatic cylinders, pneumatic linear actuators, and rotary actuators,

J.     pneumatic storage tanks (with the exception of white Clippard tanks P/N AVT-PP-41),

K.     1 compressor that is compliant with R806,

L.     debris or coalescing (water) filters, and

M.   Venturi valves (note: the high-pressure side of a Venturi valve is considered a pneumatic device and must follow all pneumatic rules. The vacuum side of a Venturi valve is exempt from the pneumatic rules per “a” in the blue box below).
