GE recently
released the Consolidated 1900
Series Universal
Media Cryodisc
safety valve
option, one of the
products that were
part of GE’s Feb-
ruary 2011 acqui-
sition of Dresser, Inc. Consolidated Valves patented Cryo-
disc technology, which deflects toward the nozzle to create
a seal tighter than other technologies when exposed to iso-
lated colder spots, helps reduce leakage of cryogenic fluids
and correct small leak paths. The technology helps cus-
tomers such as LNG processing facilities curb plant emis-
sions and cut maintenance costs when keeping liquids at
cryogenic temperatures.
The 1900 Series Universal Media Cryodisc safety valve
option uses a unique disc geometry that is specifically
geared toward the cryogenic application of leakage solutions. It diminishes the amount of process fluid lost during
a valve leakage and ultimately reduces the potential need
for intervention by maintenance personnel.
FLOWSERVE announces the
availability of the Limitorque
QXM smart valve
actuator, which is
designed for rising
stem valve applications, including
choke valves and small
control valves in the upstream oil and
gas, water, fossil fuel and renewable
power markets.
This smart electronic valve actuator is available with
either 6. 5 total turns or a maximum of 20 total drive
sleeve turns, which is especially important for small valves
that require limited travel and maximum control. In addition, the encoder employs system-on-chip technology,
which permits redundant, 12-bit resolution over 20 total
turns or an accuracy of less than two degrees of drive
sleeve rotation.
The QXM uses an innovative brushless direct current
voltage motor that is designed to meet most global voltage
requirements. This unique design helps eliminate sparks,
reduce mechanical and electrical noise, and dissipate heat
better than direct-current motors with brushes. The brushless motor is designed to last longer than conventional
motors and allows for more accurate positioning.
VICTAULIC offers Vic-Press, a
flame-free press system that
joins pipe in a matter of seconds. Vic-Press, the
industry’s first ANSI
Schedule 10S pipe-sized press-to-con-nect system
designed for
off-the-shelf
ASTM A-312
Schedule 10S stainless-steel
pipe, is an industrial-grade solution for quickly and reliably
joining small-diameter piping
systems. The system offers
increased strength, durability and improved flow characteristics compared to light-wall tube systems as well as
safer, more efficient pipe assembly than welding, threading
and flanging. It meets or exceeds industry standards. Vic-Press is used with standard Schedule 10S stainless-steel
pipe, which offers increased strength and durability and
eliminates the need to stock specialty pipe.
SPIRAX SARCO has released a new range of lift check
valves, LCV3 (Cast Iron), LCV4 (Carbon Steel), LCV6
(Stainless Steel) and LCV7 (SG Iron) suitable for most
industries. These check valves are designed for EN and
ASME standards, which can be used for a wide range of
applications. They use proven designs including a clamp-in-place seat. The replaceable seat arrangement offers
quick and easy in-line maintenance, reducing plant downtime.
The check valves help prevent reverse flow in pipelines
carrying most types of liquids, steam and gas. They protect
any item of equipment and prevent pressure surges associated with hydraulic forces such as water hammer. The
range is
fabricated
for horizontal pipeline
installations
for arduous
applications
and provides higher
flow rates
compared
to existing
disc check
valves. VM
