The new automated valve solutions feature the company’s VZBE ball valves, VZXA angle seat valves, VZQA pinch valves, DFPD quarter-turn actuators, VSNC NAMUR pilot valves, and the SRBC family of open/close sensor boxes. For proportional flow applications, there is the CMSX digital positioner. Research and development efforts are currently engineering advanced diagnostics into the valves to support Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things functionality for greater flexibility and operational performance. The new valves feature 316-stainless steel bodies and Teflon seats. Valves are rated up to 1000 psi and 400 ºF (200 ºC). These 3A approved valves feature tri-clamp and welding connections. Fire-safe API607 valves with ANSI flange connections are also available. The company sizes the components and at the customer’s request can provide fully assembled and tested valve terminals and automated valve assemblies for plug-and-play installation or parts ready for assembly, all in one box with a single unique part number.
