SPIRAX-SARCO: Releases New SPIRA-TROL range

These reliable valves are easy to maintain and do not require any special tooling due to the “clamp in seat” design, resulting in reduced downtime and cost of ownership.

In response to high demand, the SPIRA-TROL range has now been extended to include valve sizes 6 and 8 inch. The number of options has also been extended to ensure the valve can be optimized for the specific requirements of a customer application. Pneumatic piston actuators have been added to the diaphragm and electric actuator ranges. The free float design provides the user with longer stem seal life and better valve shut-off performance. Also, the valve now features better capacities and a balanced trim option for high differential pressures.

SPIRA-TROL is part of a total controls solution available from Spirax Sarco. Contact your local Spirax Sarco representative to assist you with your business requirements.

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?
