Crane now offers an improved version of its Saunders P345 polymer pneumatic actuator, designed to reduce operating pressure requirements to 4.5 bar, which in turn, can reduce carbon footprint and energy cost by 11%. The lightweight piston-type pneumatic actuator has been developed to deliver sustainable performance for sterile biopharm applications.

Conval’s Clampseal unit tandem blowdown valves for boiler blowdown and bottom blow-off service are now available. The high-performance, severe service valves effectively control the flow of steam/fluid under high differential pressure. These new valves are supplied in hard seat x hard and right- and left-hand configurations. They will be available in 1” through 2-1/2” sizes, and with ASME Class 300 through 2500 pressure ratings. Standard materials include ASME SA-105 carbon steel and F22 alloy steel. Other materials are available upon request. End connections include socket weld, butt weld or flanged.

Gilmore introduces its new surface compact regulator, designed to provide the highest reliability in pressure regulating for wellhead control panels and hydraulic power units. Tungsten carbide shear-seal technology allows thousands of reliable cycles between valve maintenance, making these regulators an excellent choice to regulate pressure when filling umbilical lines or flushing equipment. This versatile design can be used in low- and high-pressure applications and is capable of enduring high-flow conditions during start-up.

Mueller now offers Part of the 2300 series gate valve product line. The new product is developed with “clean seat” technology and offers reliable and repeatable watertight shutoff suitable for utilities’ exercise programs. Standard and oversized variants are now available in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches, and can be inserted into an existing water main with minimal service disruption. Mueller also offers a line of PermaSeal Insertion Valve installation equipment that has been designed to ease common installation difficulties and comes as two independent sets intended to service individual size ranges of 4-8 inches and 10-12 inches.

Cowan Dynamics has released the E2H-ESD actuator, the newest addition to their electro-hydraulic actuator lineup. It is designed specifically for emergency shutoff valve (ESD) automation. The ESD-E2H combines both hydraulic and electric actuation in one self-contained system. It features a completely modular design consisting of the following modules: hydraulic power, hydraulic cylinder, scotch yoke mechanism, spring canister, and control panel for local and remote operation.

ITT Inc. has launched a new generation of technology for its i-ALERT total machine health monitoring ecosystem. It identifies and diagnoses mechanical and electrical failures in pumps, motors and other industrial machines before they occur by using a wider vibration frequency range. The new sensor includes a field-replaceable battery to minimize replacement time and cost. Other features include robust wireless software updates that seamlessly add new features and enhance existing ones, a new magnetic flux sensor that includes electrical health analysis capabilities for motors, accurate run speed and load trending, and faster wireless data speeds using the latest Bluetooth technology (BLE 5.0) to reduce data download times with the mobile app.

Emerson now offers the TESCOM Anderson Greenwood Instrumentation H2 Valve Series for hydrogen applications up to 15,000 pounds-per-square-inch (psi). The new solution reliably isolates process pressure in high pressure gas applications such as hydrogen fueling stations and tube trailers, reducing fugitive emissions and improving safety. The hand-operated, maintenance-free design of the hand valves and double block and bleed valves in the H2 Valve Series minimizes maintenance and downtime. With low operating torque and adjustment-free seal technology, these hand valves deliver a low cost of ownership in a compact solution.

Solon Manufacturing Co. has a new liquefied natural gas (LNG)/cryogenic flange calculator — a product selection tool designed to calculate the recommended Belleville springs and washers needed in LNG and cryogenic applications where cold temperatures and corrosion are factors in process leaks and fugitive emissions. Customers simply complete the fields with information relative to their application and Solon’s calculator will automatically filter the selection to recommend Solon Flange Washers that meet specific requirements. Similar product selection tools aimed for minimizing bolt preload loss and reducing fugitive emissions with high-temperature flange live loading and valve and process leaks can be found in Solon’s online resource library.

DeZURIK’s KUL urethane lined knife gate valves are designed for on-off applications of abrasive slurry and dry abrasive materials. Flanged urethane lined knife gate valves are well-suited for applications in mining, chemical and food industries. KUL valves feature a one-piece, cast-in-place bonded liner that provides bi-directional, drip-tight shutoff to either 150 or 250 psi (1030 or 1720 kPa) CWP. These valves can also provide bi-directional dead-end service to the full pressure rating of the valve. All wetted surfaces are lined with urethane. The urethane liner is bonded in place to form a continuous liner throughout the entire body, chest, packing chamber and flange face area. The bonding process enhances the mechanical and abrasion resistance properties of the urethane, which creates a robust seat seal in harsh slurry services.
