Control Devices, a portfolio company of HBM Holdings, today announced the acquisition of Sherwood Valve. The acquisition expands Control Devices' flow control portfolio and strengthens its position ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

The ultraminiature PCFCD-1N1 pressure-compensated flow-control valve, with a low-friction diaphragm, is designed to maintain a constant flow rate, regardless of variations. The ultraminiature ...

• Standard solenoid valves pose an ignition danger near hazardous materials. • Valves with pneumatic and magnetic actuators require no electricity, making them inherently safe in hazardous locations.

Pneumatic control systems are used in various applications, including: A single acting cylinder (SAC) is a type of pneumatic actuator that produces force and movement in one direction only. It has a ...

A worksheet that calculates control valve installed gain can be part of any control valve selection process. For many years, the author has used, and promoted the use of, control valve installed flow ...
