Pneumatic valve system with embedded wireless connectivity
Emerson has introduced a wireless automatic recovery module (ARM) for its Aventics G3 electronic fieldbus platform that makes it easy for technicians to perform pneumatic valve system commissioning and diagnostics from a mobile phone, tablet or laptop computer. “The Aventics G3 fieldbus platform is the first in the industry to offer wireless technology that puts […]
New high-pressure proportional controls
The new Cordis HP500 from Cincinnati-based Clippard uses the company’s proven EV line of electronic valves to allow for steady, repeatable downstream pressure under static conditions. The result is precise, linear pressure control within a closed-loop system with high accuracy and repeatability. The Cordis HP500 uses a microcontroller, integrated pressure sensor, and two Clippard EV […]
Compact manifolds for instrument valves
NOSHOK announces the addition of 3- and 5- valve compact manifolds to its instrument valve portolio. These manifolds provide instrument port spacing that is compatible with either standard SP-99 or the Rosemount Coplanar platform. Optional packings, stem tips, O-rings and handle types are available, and all NOSHOK valves are 100% helium leak tested to 1 […]
