By combining advanced seat and seal concepts with durable materials and quality manufacturing, subsea valves can maintain leak-tight isolation, operational safety and system reliability throughout ...

Due to historical engineering decisions made many decades ago, a great many irrigation systems rely on solenoid valves that operate on 24 volts AC. This can be inconvenient if you’re trying to ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

Many power plants use older control valve technologies that do not address the severe nature of today’s power plant operations. The older design valves require constant maintenance and their ...

Unlike other power plant equipment valves and pumps have been in existence, in one form or another, for more than 1,000 years. Some of the earliest pumps were manually operated and not very efficient.

Directional-control valves are vital in any pneumatic circuit, directing or blocking airflow to control the speed or sequence of operations. One method of classifying directional-control valves is by ...

Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

Process automation is a necessity in different industries. The utilization of valves implies that process engineers must select the most suitable actuation devices. The actuator should facilitate ...

(Reuters Health) - People who need a heart valve replaced often face a dilemma: should they have a mechanical valve made of graphite or a biological valve derived from a cow or pig? A new study ...
