Shape Memory Alloy Valve - SMAV
Overview
Shape Memory Alloy Valve (SMAV) is an inert solution for one-shot device based on smart materials. SMA is well known for its chemical and physical durability. SMAV contains a single-core cartridge heater that can be tested during pre-flight without damaging SMAV's functionality. Hence, this valve has superior reliability. SMAV is a hermetic device since its inlet is sealed with a nipple which is sheared by the SMA actuator. SMAV exhibits excellent internal and external leakage. Inlet and outlet tubes are 1/4" Titanium.
