Petroleum Refining

In an effort to better serve our refining customers, Valin has created a new knowledge center group of highly technical people familiar with the needs of refineries.

WIKA inline diaphragm seals and flow-through thermowells either reduce or eliminate dead legs where bacterial or fungal contamination can develop in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.

Pressure gauges in general can handle ambient temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C). However, once you get closer to the Arctic Circle, temperatures exceeding 40°F become the norm.

WIKA USA's new Dual Switch Gauge offers customers reliable information and exceptional versatility for pressure monitoring in semiconductor, high purity (HP), and ultra-high purity (UHP) applications. Learn more.

Sometimes, references to pressure transmitter accuracy are actually about the non-linearity of the pressure transmitter's response. Although accuracy and non-linearity are related, the two terms are not the same and shouldn't be used interchangeably.

Pressure and temperature instrument dials with big, bright numbers increase instrument visibility and readability. WIKA USA's retro-reflective dial background makes it even easier to locate a critical installation among the sea of industrial gauges, adding to the speed of taking a correct reading.

PGI answered customer requests for a lower stem handle turning torque by introducing their new Low-Torque™ Grafoil® bonnet and packing design. Grafoil® Stem Seal Torque Reduced 50%.

Parker Autoclave Engineers have taken a variety of in-house technologies and created a patent-pending simple to make connection using easy-to-use tools that are as safe as a Cone & Thread connection without any of the vibration sensitivity.

Securing leak-free connection of impulse lines to manifolds for applications that use differential pressure flowmeters is a subject that has taxed instrumentation engineers for more than a century. Learn more.

The Neles® globe valves are designed to provide the best control accuracy and wide rangeability with economical high performance. Standard units are equipped with linear actuators and ND valve controllers for precise flow control, extended operation life, and performance monitoring online.

Refineries rely on multipoint thermocouples to monitor temperature at different points inside fixed-bed reactors. However, these temperature measurement systems are also extremely useful for evaluating performance in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units, vapor distribution systems, and amine columns.

Iwaki America recently announced the release of their IX-B Series of metering pumps, an expansion to the popular IX Series Pumps.  The IX-B Series flow control range is 0.002GPH (7.5mL/H) to 12GPH (45L/H) expanding the IX Series operational range DOWN significantly.

WIKA's CPG 1500 digital pressure gauge provides the precision required to recalibrate and certify pressure instrumentation in the field and analyze process performance.

For new liquid filtration applications or if you are considering upgrading your system consider the benefits of Cardinal's High Flow Cartridges over traditional 2.5" pleated or depth filters.

Rotork Fairchild's High Pressure - Pressure Reducing Regulator is suitable for 690 bar (10000 psig) inlet and outlet hydraulic and pneumatic applications.

Selecting materials for a given application is one of the main design steps towards a safe and cost-efficient system, yet a commonly overlooked stage, mainly performed from a purely economic standpoint.

ZWICK's check valve TRI-CHECK combines all the benefits of their TRI-CON Series in a non-return valve. Triple-offset design with a wide seat angle and a true cone in cone, no rubbing while moving, and absolute zero leakage performance.

TRI-CON valves incorporate a unique third offset with a 25-degree incline, eliminating the friction between the laminated seal ring and the body seat. The resulting camming action allows the stainless and graphite laminated seal ring to seat into an inclined 25-degree body seat. Learn more.

The Valvcon® ESR-Series electric actuator provides an internal bank of super-capacitor power storage devices that never need replacement. Designed for two-position operation, it provides true two-wire control.

Metso's Valvcon® V-Series is a compact, rugged, reliable electric actuator designed for quarter-turn valve and damper applications and is available in both NEMA 4/4X and NEMA 4/4X/7&9 configurations.

The Des-Case Mobile Utility Cart is a heavy-duty, 3-in-1 mobile system for lubricant storage, handling, and system top-offs.

The Valvcon® LCR-Series actuator is one of the most cost-effective units on the market today. And because Valvcon® electric actuators are reliable and inherently low-maintenance units, you'll realize long-term efficiencies beyond the initial low price.

The Valvcon® QX-Series is a compact, rugged, DC-powered electric actuator designed for quarter-turn valve and damper applications. The actuator is available as 12VDC and 24VDC and has a torque range of up to 3,000 in-lb (250 lb-ft).
