Saunders® I-VUE Smart Valve Sensor from CRANE ChemPharma Flow Solutions

The Saunders I-VUE is designed specifically for aseptic diaphragm valve applications in the Life Science industry. Compatible with Point-to-Point (P2P), AS-i and DeviceNet control systems, the Saunders I-VUE offers substantial benefits over standard switch controls including:

Enhanced reliability and accuracy with solid state continuous sensing technology that provides precise position readings for the entire valve range from 0.25″ to 4.00″ (DN8 to DN100).
Simplified installation by utilizing automated valve calibration without opening the IP67 rated polycarbonate sensor enclosure, reducing set up times to 3 minutes or less.
Lower maintenance costs by applying factory or user defined device settings to monitor valve cycle count and end point tolerance limits, preventing false alarms and unnecessary diaphragm replacement.

Since the early days of water and wastewater treatment plants in the U.S., municipalities and industries have continued to expand and upgrade existing plants and distribution infrastructure as well as build new facilities.
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?
Regulators versus Control Valves: What’s the Best Fit?

The combination of North American shale fields that continue to fuel high levels of new domestic oil and gas projects and ongoing global efforts means the need for efficiency in instrumentation selection has never been higher.
