Warren Controls ValveWorks Program Improves Sizing and Selection Process
Warren Controls has created its state-of-the-art ValveWorks® program to improve the sizing and selection process for globe and rotary control valves based on the ISA 75.01 international standard. An exclusive program, Warren Controls' ValveWorks® is an easy-to-use online system that safely maps out users' solutions based on application requirements and process conditions.
Bethlehem, PA - Warren Controls, a leading manufacturer of control valves and specialty fluid handling products, created its state-of-the-art ValveWorks® program to improve the sizing and selection process for globe and rotary control valves based on the ISA 75.01 international standard.
An exclusive program, Warren Controls' ValveWorks® is an easy-to-use online system that safely maps out users' solutions based on application requirements and process conditions. Control valves are sized accurately for optimum control, providing minimal energy loss and maximum life expectancy, without excessive maintenance.
Through step-by-step instructions, ValveWorks® users navigate through more than 100,000 combinations of construction attributes, factoring in requirements like flow rate, inlet pressure and temperature, pressure drop, vapor and critical pressure, predicted noise and more.
The program also allows customers to further customize valves, selecting carbon steel or stainless steel for the body, threaded of flanged ends, pressure rating, trim material and accessories. The process repeats on the actuator side, so that when users are finished, they have a detailed Sizing Report and optional Flow Curve Report. This comprehensive report illustrates how well specific choices will perform in a specific application and documents sound selections, which are necessary during a project's specification and procurement stages. Performance of the valve over the full range of control is graphically shown and all sizing and proposals can be printed to keep on record. Users that are also registered as sales channel partners have additional access to pricing options, allowing further evaluation of their selections before creating a formal quote with ValveWorks or making a purchase.
"ValveWorks® is a tool that helps you get your project specifications right the first time, in such a way that a layperson could learn the program," says Vice President of Sales & Marketing Al Gunnarson. "This is what's unique about our program versus our competitors -- you don't need to have a detailed background in valve and actuator sizing to know how to use ValveWorks."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
