Valve Problems |
RF VALVE ® & aiRFlex®Solutions |
|
Conventional Pinch Excessive stretching of the rubber sleeve or diaphragm causes more highly accelerated wear under abrasive, erosive, or high temperature and pressure conditions. Conventional pinch valves are not manufactured to standard ASME/ANSI or DIN face-to-face dimensions. |
RF Solution Non-stretch, high strength tube construction provides longer life & reliability in abrasive, erosive, corrosive or high temperature, pressure conditions. Full line of standard ASME/ANSI face-to-face dimensioned valves, providing interchangeability NOT offered by other pinch valve designs. |
|
Ball, Plug, Gate, Butterfly, and Globe Abrasive wear, scaling, or corrosion of rotating metal, lined surfaces, seats and seals, cause valves to jam, seize, or leak; average maintenance costs 30-70% of valve cost. |
RF Solution Elastomeric resistance to abrasive, corrosive media and self cleaning action of high strength, seamless tube provides longer life and reliability than other valves; average maintenance costs of 10-20% of valve cost. |
|
All Valves Difficulty in predicting and assuring reliable valve operation and shut off in abrasive, scaling, corrosive or plugging services. Higher maintenance and inventory costs associated with multiple wear components and more complicated valve designs. |
RF Solution The elastomer tube is the only component in contact with the process
stream minimizing repair costs. SMART Valve™ tube wear sensor provides
preventive maintenance alert and eliminates the cost of "throw-away
valves". Tube can be changed in-line for maximum efficiency. |

|
| High performance analog and digital modulating valves are configured with precision products from industry leaders like Fisher-Rosemount, ABB/Bailey, Posi-Flex, Neles, Valtek, PMV, EIM, Auma, Rotork, Bernard and Limitorque, to provide the highest level of accuracy and process control available with full- and reduced-port trim designs. |
