Curtiss-Wright’s Farris Engineering Offers Real-Time Monitoring
Farris Engineering, part of Curtiss-Wright Valves Division now offers the inSure Pressure Relief Valve Monitoring Device.
Monitoring valve performance is needed for EPA Clean Air Act requirements. Devices in many organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP) applications must be equipped with a monitoring device to identify release and record time and duration of release, and must immediately notify operators of a release. Process owners can use this information to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime.
The device obtains real-time monitoring of pressure relief events by detecting valve stem movement and provides immediate feedback through CW inSure online app or Distributed Control System (DCS). The device can accurately measure pressure relief events and detect unstable flow in challenging applications to save costs and reduce maintenance.
The monitor is factory installed and calibrated, or as a retrofit kit can be installed by a factory-trained technician on most Farris 2600 series spring-loaded pressure relief valves. The device utilizes Bluetooth connectivity to provide live valve status of pressure events, percent open, time stamp, temperature and battery voltage. If connected to a DCS, the company offers three communication protocols to connect to the device: a wired 4-20mA connection, wirelessHART and wireless ISA100 options provide flexibility to the process owner.
The unit is powered by a long-lasting battery that is certified by CSA for hazardous location service.

Emerson’s Transmitter Connects Field Assets
Emerson released the Rosemount 802 wireless multi-discrete input or output transmitter, which has eight discrete input/output (I/O) channels, each configurable as an input or an output. WirelessHART capability allows the transmitter to connect to a wireless gateway, which can link to a host — such as a control system or asset management system — via a wired connection. This allows the host to monitor and control assets remotely over a WirelessHART network.
The new transmitter and its predecessor, the Rosemount 702 wireless discrete dual input or output transmitter, are the only WirelessHART-enabled remote I/O transmitters available today. The transmitter functions similarly to previous models, but with eight I/O channels instead of two, each configurable as a discrete input or output. For installations with multiple assets in one area that each must be monitored or controlled, the 802 transmitter is a more cost-effective solution than the Rosemount 702.
Power options include 10-30 volt direct current external line power or an Emerson SmartPower module. The latter option requires no wiring, provides up to eight years of maintenance-free operation and can be replaced in the field. The transmitter is certified according to the following safety standards: ATEX Zone 2 Intrinsically Safe, USA Division 2 Non-Incendive and Zone 2 Intrinsically Safe, Canada Division 2 Non-Incendive and Zone 2 Intrinsically Safe, and IECEx Zone 2 Intrinsically Safe. The device enclosure is rated according to NEMA 4X and IP66.

Gilmore’s High-Pressure Check Valve Performs Under Pressure
With the movement to higher pressures and temperatures, Gilmore, a Control Devices company, engineered a PR2 Check Valve with maximum allowable working pressure of 20k and temperature range from 0°F to 250°F. The valve was designed to withstand extreme high and low pressures while preventing backflow.
The poppet design was tested according to API Standard 6A, PR2 Design Validation Test, specifically designed for components commissioned in remote and hostile environments. Updates to the new valve design include: improved antirotation pin design to replace weldment for improved serviceability; an Elgiloy spring for robust and precise reliability; Stellite poppet and Inconel seal ring to form a precise metal-to-metal seal; and a compact envelope design for installation where space is at a minimum.
