Valtorc Series 197 ball valves were designed for corrosive media applications, and the flanged design will fit most piping applications. With high performance PTFE seats for highly corrosive media applications, the Series 197 ball valves are available from 1/2-in. to 6-in. The valves are available in stainless steel and in carbon steel, with either manual handles or fully automated with pneumatic or electric automation. The valves are readily available with standard lead times and are ready for immediate purchase. valtorc.com
Emerson Enhances Control System Software
Global technology and software manufacturer Emerson is further expanding the DeltaV Automation Platform with the DeltaV Version 15 Feature Pack 2 update for its distributed control system (DCS). This feature pack release empowers users to easily transition to a DeltaV DCS from more third-party control systems, expands support for data-rich Ethernet device networks and reduces the complexity of state-based control implementations. As plants try to capture the most elusive performance gains to meet today’s ever-increasing efficiency and sustainability goals, they are looking for technologies that modernize control without excessive engineering risk, overhead and downtime. The latest release of the DeltaV control system continues the regular cadence between major DeltaV releases to help users more quickly realize the project savings and operational efficiencies that come with new features for their control system software.
Plants can now transition to a modern DeltaV control system from the most common third-party systems — immediately reaping the benefits of modern control — and transition their I/O infrastructure gradually, on their own schedule, to minimize downtime and risks. emerson.com
Teadit Receives Certification of Standard Achievement
Teadit, an industrial sealing solutions manufacturer, announced it has achieved the highly coveted U-Stamp certification from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This achievement marks a milestone in Teadit's commitment to providing high-quality and innovative solutions for unfired pressure vessels.
The U Stamp accreditation is awarded to organizations meeting stringent ASME standards for pressure vessel design, fabrication, inspection and testing. These stamps differ from other QA/QC stamps as they are granted based on standards that a third party develops. This accreditation underscores Teadit’s dedication to maintaining the highest levels of safety and reliability. teadit.com
IMI Unveils First HIPPS for Hydrogen Post-Production Processes
IMI’s first HIPPS to protect hydrogen post-production processes.

IMI has unveiled what is believed to be one of the first high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) to protect against overpressure propagation during the hydrogen post-production process. The new HIPPS is specifically engineered to isolate the source of dangerous high pressure, instead of relieving the excess flow in the case of an overpressure event. This offers a critical layer of protection for pipelines and downstream components and promotes the safe storage of hydrogen post-production, prior to its transportation to the point of use.
The system uses electronic transmitters specifically designed for hydrogen applications and an electronic logic solver to sense a potential overpressure event. If triggered, failsafe valves will be activated within two seconds to isolate the exposure and protect the downstream assets and plant personnel.

SAMSON Awarded Certification for Additively Manufactured Pressure Equipment
SAMSON has been certified for its additively manufactured pressure equipment for use within the scope of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED). The certificate issued by TÜV SÜD Industrie Service GmbH confirms that SAMSON is qualified to additively manufacture high-quality pressure equipment in series and to place this equipment on the market. This certification is a major achievement in valve engineering.

Additive manufacturing is of strategic importance to SAMSON since it opens up new opportunities that go beyond conventional manufacturing methods. 3D printing, as the method is more commonly known, offers SAMSON new ways of optimizing its products and supply chain processes to better serve its customers. Additive manufacturing also helps SAMSON meet the increasingly stringent requirements that apply in certain industries, such as chemicals, petrochemicals or oil and gas.
Valves are classified as pressure equipment if they are operated at a maximum permissible pressure (PS) of more than 0.5 bar. The Directive 2014/68/EU applies to the economic operators (manufacturers, authorized representatives, importers and distributors), material manufacturers, operators of pressure equipment as well as the notified bodies or user inspectorates, which are commissioned to conduct conformity assessments. The Directive regulates the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and assemblies. samsongroup.com

Beauty or a Beast? Using NDE on Valve Components
When it comes to valves, “beauty is only skin-deep” is often a true statement. Since Superman and his X-ray eyes don’t really exist, there is no way to verify the quality of a valve or valve component just by looking at it.
