Continental Disc Announces Rupture Line Expansion
The company is expanding its APX rupture disc line. Now available in 6-inch and 8-inch sizes, the APX provides greater flexibility and protection for larger-diameter pressure relief applications across a wide range of industries.

The APX rupture disc is engineered for superior performance under demanding operating conditions. With high operating ratios (up to 95%), tight burst tolerances and a nonfragmenting design, the APX delivers precision pressure relief with minimal downtime and reliability.
The introduction of the 6" and 8" sizes meets growing demand in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and energy, where larger piping systems and vessels require robust overpressure protection without compromising responsiveness or durability. The line also offers 95% operating ratio for maximum efficiency and is compatible with a full range of insert, reduced height, pretorqued and double-disc holders in various material. contdisc.com.
Equilibar Introduces Series for High-Flow Applications
The IC Series is a new industrial collection of valves for back pressure, vacuum and flow control applications with high throughput. Featuring the company’s dome-loaded multiple-orifice technology, these valves and regulators provide best-in-class performance in a practical, compact size. They are easily customized for a variety of applications and are well suited for demanding gas, liquid and mixed phase fluid applications that involve high valve flow coefficient (Cv).
Designed to offer virtually instantaneous control and precision for even the most challenging process conditions, a supple diaphragm is the Equilibar regulator’s only moving part, enabling frictionless operation. Because it is dome-loaded, it provides reliably stable pressure control. At the same time, the multiple orifice design results in an ultra-wide flow range. Port sizes for the IC Series are available from 1.5″ to 3″ standard, with custom sizes on request. Equilibar.com
Harold Beck & Sons Launches Next-Gen Actuator
Harold Beck & Sons Inc.’s Beck 88-109 Multi-Turn Actuator is engineered for performance and longevity, and delivers maintenance-free, reliable control for rising and non-rising stem gate valves, large butterfly valves or any multiturn applications across the water, energy, manufacturing and process industries.
Building on decades of innovation, the Beck 88-109 is specifically for the harshest industrial conditions, offering rugged construction, advanced control and user-friendly features. Key advantages include durability, and a robust gear train that ensures reliable performance, even in demanding, continuous-duty modulating service; a no-burn-out motor; and a nonintrusive Wi-Fi configuration. In addition, end users benefit from maintenance-free operation, as the design eliminates oil baths and routine service points, minimizing downtime and reducing overall cost of ownership.

The 88-109 Multi-Turn Actuator is designed for water and wastewater treatment facilities, power generation plants, chemical and process plants, oil and gas transmission and refining or virtually any industrial setting. Haroldbeck.com
Rosemount Pressure Transmitter
The Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter from Emerson offers the flexibility to meet the most demanding pressure measurement challenges by increasing performance and operational insights. It provides local real-time control and eliminates the need for a separate device, such as a programmable logic controller. This functionality is provided by two relay switches, each of which can be configured to provide on/off control of pumps, motors and other equipment. These switches can also provide alerts based on pressure, flow, totalized flow, level, volume or module temperature.

The transmitter is engineered to withstand the toughest processes and the harshest environments, with a 20-year warranty and 20-year stability specification, both unique to the pressure transmitter market. Fast response time of 40 milliseconds allows the 4051S to be used in the most demanding applications. A best-in-class 800:1 turndown ratio reduces the number of unique models needed to be kept in stock, streamlining inventory.
Advanced diagnostics provide more insights, with loop integrity continuously monitoring the health of the entire electrical loop to detect potential failures. The transmitter can also diagnose other abnormal conditions, such as cavitation, using its built-in process intelligence. Built-in calibration and diagnostic logs provide the information needed to optimize maintenance and perform root cause analysis.
Bluetooth connectivity from up to 50 feet (15 meters) away improves safety by allowing plant personnel to access the transmitter to avoid entering hazardous areas. emerson.com/Rosemount4051S
