The four most important things to consider when designing a valve
It’s no secret that valve manufacturing has come a long way in the last decade or so. With so many appealing options to choose from, selecting the right kind of steel or alloy is crucial because it can dramatically impact the cost and life span of the equipment being deployed. To make things more complicated it’s Read the full article…
Pneumatic Valves and the different ways they control pressure
Pneumatic valves are part of a wide range of components that are charged with controlling pressure, rate and the amount of air that moves through a pneumatic system. The force of the compressed air needed in order to transmit power usually dictates the kind application you’ll find a pneumatic system in – ranging from diesel Read the full article…
Basic Valves & Selection Tips
Valves isolate, switch and control fluids in piping systems. Choosing which one you’ll need for yours depends on a variety of factors, but before jumping in it can be good to know the basics. This week, we’ll discuss some of your run-of-the-mill valve types and what their advantages and disadvantages are. Gate valves Designed to Read the full article…
The most commonly used metal alloys in Butterfly Valve manufacturing
There are a whole swath of materials that can be used when designing a butterfly valve. In many cases, you’ll find several different materials within the same design in order to achieve the best possible combination of functionality and cost. This month’s post talks a little bit about some of the more common materials used Read the full article…
Getting to know Butterfly Valves
What they are Butterfly valves are quarter-turn valves that are used to regulate flow. A metal disc in the body of your application is positioned perpendicular to the flow in the closed position and rotated one quarter of a turn to be parallel to the flow in the fully opened position. They come manufactured in Read the full article…
Humphrey Poppet Valves vs. Spool Valves: What you need to know
Whenever you’re choosing between 3 and 4 way valves for pneumatic circuits, you should always be sure to take the internal design of the valve into consideration. While a valve’s fundamental function may be the same – the use of a poppet or spool valve could have a significant impact on your application. Below, we Read the full article…
