An oscillating control valve may appear to be the source of control instability and repair efforts are usually focused only there. When this fails to solve the issue, further investigation often ...

3D printing techniques enable quieter, higher performing designs for final control elements. Control valve noise is a problem in many plant environments. The sound is created by very high pressure ...

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 ...

A critical valve deep in Jim Thorpe’s West Side Water Treatment Plant has reached the end of its serviceable life and, according to officials, parts needed to fix it no longer exist. Borough Council ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...

On/off valves are basically on/off switches for hydraulic systems. They are typically installed in applications where precise position or speed control is not required. Proportional valves adjust flow ...

As a follow-up to a recently issued Safety Recall, GM has now published a Special Coverage bulletin for certain units of the 2020 Chevy Camaro, the 2021 Chevy Camaro and the 2022 Chevy Camaro that may ...

Before selecting an engineered solution for any fluid control application, it is crucial to understand the unique application and overall value that each ball valve provides. Ball valves come in a ...

A proportional solenoid valve is an electromagnetic valve designed to respond to a variable power input to regulate the flow of liquid and/or gas proportionately. It is used to control the flow rate ...
