Modern Pumping Products: February 2015

GRIFFCO VALVE INC.
Unibody Back Pressure and Pressure Relief Valves
Griffco Valve Inc. introduces its new leak-free Unibody valve for use in chemical-feed, metering, and dosing pump systems. Available as a back pressure valve and 2-port pressure relief valve, Unibody features single-piece construction with union connections machined together with the valve body to form a solid piece of material. It is engineered to be the most reliable and universal valve on the market, virtually eliminating downtime and extending performance life, according to the company. Griffco Valve products are sold worldwide through authorized distributors. The new Unibody allows for fast installation with standard union connections that can be configured to any piping material. Trouble-free and leak-free operation is ensured because there are no threads, gaskets, glues or welds to cause problems. Servicing the system is easy with simple, quick union disconnects, and because the valves have standard dimensions to ensure drop-in replacement, according to Griffco Valve.

FLOWROX
Expulse™ Pulsation Dampener
We all know that a fluent process without any distractions is the ultimate goal for any modern plant. One of the distractions can be caused by pulsation, which is a common issue with several positive displacement pumps and can result to annoying noise and vibrations in the process pipeline. It can also potentially lead to breakages over time.  Flowrox Expulse is a flexible inline pulsation dampener, which settles restless pipes, pressure peaks and uneven flows. The design is based on a double hose structure with an expansive inner hose, reinforced outer hose and compressed air in between the two. Due to its structure, Flowrox Expulse is able to absorb up to 90 percentages of pulsations and even more in the right process conditions. The dampener also enables energy savings in pumping by reducing vibrations and by temporarily storing pressure to the flexible inner hose.

MORGAN MOLTEN METAL SYSTEMS
HotRod™ Sheaths
Morgan’s Molten Metal Systems business announces its HotRod™ pyrometry sheaths and other pyrometer assembly products, which protect thermocouples in furnace heating control systems. Industry proven for over 30 years, the pyrometer assemblies are made of a durable, erosion-resistant clay-graphite mix with special plasticity properties, which is then extruded into the proper shape. The pryometer assemblies are designed to have a metal wire inserted into them, and are then put into a metal bath to measure the temperature. HotRod sheaths are designed for used in furnaces and other high temperature environments, and are supplied with a ½ inch (12.7 millimeter) threaded steel tube for quick and easy attachment to the furnace pyrometry system.

OMEGA ENGINEERING INC.
SVH-110 High Pressure Solenoid Valve
The SVH-110 Series direct acting solenoid valves are normally closed valves that open when energized and close when de-energized. When the coil is energized the plunger lifts the piston off the valve seat, opening the valve. Upon de-energizing the coil, a spring closes the piston to seat it. The normally open valve operates similarly, closing when energized and opening when de-energized. No minimum pressure is required. The SVH-110 Series are used to control the flow of high pressure air, water, hydrogen, nitrogen and other gases or light liquids compatible with materials of construction. They are also suitable for cryogenic applications. For more information, call 800.TC.OMEGA or 203.359.1660, or visit www.omega.com.
