I was recently asked how the installed flow characteristic of an equal percentage valve in a system that includes a significant amount of pipe or other pressure-consuming elements “magically” becomes a linear, or approximately linear, installed flow characteristic.
The Iwaki Pump Engineering Team, originators and holders of many pump patents, proudly introduces their newest design innovation. After years of thorough testing and successful operation, Iwaki Air has now completely re-designed the Air Motor to include the new Looped C Spring Spool.

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.
In the last ten years, the design of pneumatic manufacturers' online tools for sizing components have evolved, the fieldbus systems are ever-changing, component designs are constantly improving, and network devices such as the Industrial Internet of Things have reshaped the industry. Learn more.
Thermocouples and controllers themselves do not prevent a failure from occurring. What they can do is create a temperature profile for a heater that can be used as a maintenance log.
Valin has developed a unique interactive experience on-board our Mobile Technology Vehicle where engineers can discover solutions that are making plants and processes more productive, profitable, and safer. The MTV has hosted over 17,000 people at more than 500 sites since its launch and has had terrific reviews.
WIKA’s CPG 1500 digital pressure gauge provides the precision required to recalibrate and certify pressure instrumentation in the field and analyze process performance.
Heat Trace and Electric Process Heaters are used in many critical processes in all plants. It is extremely important that you and your team know how to properly test, install and maintain your electric heaters. Lack of attention in regard to these fundamentals will lead to costly heater shutdown and will cause an interruption in your process.
The use of INPUT/OUTPUT software filters can provide enhanced performance of controllers to process systems conditions. The use of Input filters are to reduce the erratic fluctuations of the analog input signal due to either electrical “noise” conditions or rapid fluctuations of the analog input signal. It accomplishes this by slowing down the response of the analog input to a change.
A lesson for me is that I need to involve you earlier in the program.
You were tireless in your support and it will not be forgotten!
