The VOTES Infinity system was developed in response to changing industry requirements for a simpler system that can reduce the time needed to complete acquisition and analysis of actuated valve diagnostic data. The same software and data-acquisition hardware can be used for testing Motor-Operated, Air-Operated or Check Valves. The system offers a completely new and simpler user interface that allows even occasional users to effectively acquire and analyze data.
VOTES Infinity includes patent-pending ASSIST technology, which automatically detects all connected sensors and configures the system accordingly. ASSIST technology reduces setup time as well as eliminating test configuration errors. VOTES Infinity is now ready to ship worldwide to meet the valve diagnostic testing requirements of the nuclear power generation market as well as critical, non-nuclear applications.
Crane Nuclear is a part of Crane Co. Crane Co. is a diversified manufacturer of engineered industrial products. Crane Co. is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CR).

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?
