Barrett-Jackson countdown: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette engine cutaway display | Pressure Reduction Valve

Butterfly valves recently became available with disks having an inherent equal percentage flow characteristic. This delivers an installed characteristic that results in an installed process gain within the desired 0.5 to 2.0 range over a wider travel. This results in significantly improved throttling control, especially in the lower travel ranges.

@73 Pauk: and of course HE is authorised to tell you all of that without fear of the Men In Black coming to get him. Or did he mysteriously disappear from town the day after he told you all of that?

Many Americans are crippled by debt as the cost of daily living in urban centers becomes essentially untenable. Despite the prevalence of these financial burdens, the subject of money remains taboo. Photographer Brittany Powell, author Helaine Olen, and Refinery29′s Lindsey Stanberry have cracked open money talk with their work on the Debt Project, the United States of Debt, and the Money Diaries, respectively. These deeply personal, nearly confessional initiatives chronicle spending, debt, and the unfettered realities of "making it work" in America today. This is a free event, but please register in advance. ICP Members have access to the best seats at our public programs in our reserved members’ section.

Re the discussions below about BC. BC produces 33 million tonnes of coal per year which equates to 100 mt of CO2 when burned. BC should have no bragging rights about low emissions until they acknowledge that they are part of the coal problem even though that coal is burned elsewhere. As a rural BC resident, I have no options to buy a truck that will haul my heavy trailers other than with a diesel engine. I pay $250 carbon tax each winter to heat my house (no other options there either). I have just retired so I doubt I will be able to afford to buy any big ticket items anyway. The carbon tax is a joke to appease the urbanites.

The dilemma facing all users of SSVs is for the valves to remain in service providing their singular functions while performing at the basic level required by the process. Severe services challenge both performance and life expectancy. SSVs must deliver a minimum performance over a minimum period of time. The valve industry does have a better understanding and agreement of what defines a severe service control valve (SSCV). Table 1 provides some reasonable thresholds that can be applied to any control valve situation and be used to make a reasonable determination that the application is severe and therefore requires a SSV.

Bonomi North America has introduced a new series of single part number high-performance automated butterfly valve packages for use in industrial heating, hydrocarbon and chemical processing, power generation and other industrial applications.

Internal wearing parts of the valve are renewable at a fraction of the cost of a new valve. These parts include a tool steel inlet cone, a tool steel gate and a unique design tool steel U-vee port. The 316 stainless steel body component in contact with the media is ceramic lining protected.
