If we drive a car without brakes, we are certain to get into serious accidents. That is why we pay serious attention to their maintenance. Valves in high-stakes production processes are as critical as brakes, and serious attention needs to be paid to their maintenance. If they are neglected, a number of serious problems can … Read more
When you own a petrol pump, you don’t go around the market looking for the cheapest possible fire extinguisher. However, some people might be making that mistake. Even when they are working in dangerous applications such as chemicals, they could end up buying cheaper valves to save on costs. Yes, they might buy ‘valves that … Read more
The one powerful tool that you could use to maintain a network of diverse valves is data. Valves are critical components of any flow system, and companies are setting aside huge budgets for their maintenance. Over time, flow networks have expanded and grown complex using different valves at different points. Every individual valve could … Read more
What Valve Standards apply for Nuclear, Aerospace, Submarine and 3D Printing applications? Considering that valves are a critical component in a host of industries, quality and reliability is not an option for valves. While there are stringent standards in general for valves, many industries also have their own specific standards for the valves they … Read more
Valve Standards have evolved for over 130 years. Read the previous blog in this series – The story of Valve Standards… In the past, a number of bodies were formed to regulate valve construction and design to ensure safety and efficiency in operations. Some of these major bodies still exist, and standards developed by them … Read more
Standardisation and interchangeability of valves has made it quite easy for firms to repair and replace the valves en mass today. However, it has not exactly been an easy journey. How the Valve standards came to be developed, and how are they still impacting business? These are the questions we now seek to answer in our special three-part series on valve standards. In part I, we … Read more
Early identification of symptoms that denote danger to valve’s lifespan could save lots of time, efforts and costs. The threats to Valve’s life are often indirect. For instance, a seal leakage doesn’t remain limited to a seal issue, but quickly escalates to affect the life of the valve itself. Knowing the symptoms helps redress issues … Read more
What is a Knife Edge Gate Valve? A knife gate valve is a type of valve with a sharp edge that can move into the flow. It’s designed to separate materials that could stop the valve from sealing tightly. Its specially designed for the corrosive, highly viscous and abrasive type of media. The Knife … Read more
With modern facilities and automation, actuator becomes a key part of any process plant. Whether it is refineries, manufacturing plants, or pipeline compressor stations, you will find pneumatic actuators working out best to ensure these facilities run continuously. Actuator is device that converts signal received from the controller into an action. pneumatic actuators contain a … Read more
A control valve is a power operated device capable of modulating flow at varying degrees between minimal flow and full capacity in response to a signal from the controlling system. Control valves play a major role in the everyday effort to increase process plant profitability and conserve energy. Understanding the Controlling of the Valve Control … Read more
