Everything You Need to Know About How Industrial Ball Valves Operate A high-quality valve is essential whether you're transporting liquids, solids, or gases. It regulates flow and provides a range of other functions. There are several types, each suited to different kinds of projects. The market for ball valves is growing rapidly. At a compound annual [...]
Cryogenic Valves Buyers Guide In 2021, the size of the worldwide cryogenic valve market was estimated at $3.65 billion. Cryogenic valves are employed in extremely cold situations, as their name suggests. Consequently, they are mostly considered to be helpful in businesses that operate with liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas. A cryogenic valve is [...]
How to Extend the Life Cycle of Valves and Valve Automation Shut off valves are a cornerstone of many industries – in fact, the market size for these valves is expected to reach $78.9 billion by 2026. But industrial valves see heavy use, and without proper maintenance, they can sustain lasting damage. A single valve malfunctioning [...]
Control Valves Modulation Vs On-Off The US economic recovery faces significant risks in 2022. You want your business to be as competitive as possible in this rapidly-changing environment. You can't afford unnecessary downtime or inefficiencies. Using the right control valves helps you optimize your flow control system. Is it time for a new on-off [...]
Without actuators, valves on machines and equipment wouldn't work properly. If this seems like a big deal to you, that's because it is! A huge range of equipment needs valves to work properly, and that requires actuators. But what do the actuators do? How do they work, and which one is a better option for your [...]
Mechanical Partial Stroke vs Electric Partial Stroke in Valves When there's something in the pipeline, making sure everything is running well is essential. And, in the case of a pipeline itself, checking for any leaks or mechanical failures is vital but often a challenge. What if you could send someone with a set of [...]
Your Guide to the Different Types of Ball Valves Ball valves are a critical part of industries including oil and gas, manufacturing, chemical, and water treatment. They even have residential uses. With so many different applications, it's not a surprise to find many different types of ball valves. These include trunnion ball valves, welded ball [...]
A Guide to the Different Types of Gears Used in Flow Control Gears are such a useful concept that they even occur in nature. From the ancient Greeks to today, gears are a fundamental part of technology. In industries ranging from oil and gas to food, gears for flow control are critical in production systems. [...]
We have Xhiter Anckeleman as the person to thank for the first actuators. In particular, he introduced the pneumatic and hydraulic actuation systems. He made these inventions during the time of World War II to create better breaks. Today, you’ll see actuators in different applications across all industries. We also now have electricity-based systems along [...]
What is Valve Automation and How Can It Help? There are several variations of equipment that are used in different industries to help processes run smoothly and efficiently. One of the main tools used to make that happen is valve actuators. They are an essential asset for production and their primary objective is to control [...]
