CINCINNATI, OH — Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc., a manufacturer of precision flow control products with focus in the medical, analytical, liquid/gas delivery, laboratory, and industrial automation markets, announces that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued Patent No. 10,738,904 to Clippard’s new Eclipse Proportional Valve. The patent, “Flow Control Valve Using Ceramic Valve Members,” will expire in 2040.

US Patent No. 10,738,904 covers “a flow control valve that uses two ceramic members having conforming surfaces which are coupled together to form a fluid-tight seal, and slidable relative to each other to control fluid flow. The shape of the ceramic apertures and their interaction when the valve is opened and closed permits ultra-fine control of the flow of gas or liquid.”
