Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?

How to Improve Reliability and Safety of Solenoid Valves
In an industrial setting such as a chemical plant, oil refinery or a deep-sea oil rig, there are safety instrumented systems in place that are designed to promptly bring about a safe shutdown of a process if certain hazardous conditions are detected.

When Accessories Become Necessities
Specification sheets for selecting automated valves list requirements for the valve and actuator but often lump all other devices together as related instrumentation or accessories.
