In the pneumatic industry, Cv is one standard for expressing the flow capacity of devices used in pneumatic systems. However, there are multiple other standards that also express flow capacity, including effective orifice size and normal liters per minute, as well as measurements of actual flow rates at specific pressure differentials. These methods are not […]

Ten downloadable apps are immediately […]
Pilot-operated check valves from Eisele ensure safe pneumatic cylinder holding
Eisele Connectors’ pilot-operated check valves are part of the company’s Basic Line and can be used in combination with pneumatic cylinders. They enable flow in one direction, which in return blocks the flow in the opposite direction: thus preventing pneumatic cylinders from unintentionally deaerating in the event of a pressure drop. Because they prevent sudden […]
Micro solenoid valves from Koganei are “world’s smallest” says the company
Koganei USA’s 005 series micro three-port solenoid valve is the world’s smallest direct acting valve, say Koganei representatives. The tiny and lightweight valves are perfect for compact devices and equipment used in bio-tech, analytical, and semiconductor manufacturing. Two styles available with either connector or pin types of wiring specifications. They can be mounted in two […]
Clippard PTFE media isolation valves provide custom solutions
Clippard’s media isolation valves are solenoid-operated devices that use a flexible diaphragm to isolate the actuation mechanism from the fluid path. Media isolation valves are commonly used for a wide variety of applications, including those that require precise, repeatable dispensing of media. All wetted areas of the valve are PTFE, making this series suitable for use with corrosive […]
