Valve World reports that VERSA expanded its XIBC intrinsically safe solenoid line with a 316L stainless-steel enclosure, ‘ia’ protection for Zone 1 valve control, pressure ratings up to 175 psi depending on valve series, and an optional sealing configuration down to -51°C.
RFQs should align hazardous-area certification and the required intrinsic-safety barrier or isolator, IP66/67 protection, valve-series pressure limits, 24 VDC/0.8 W power, M20 conduit interface, temperature range and actuator/solenoid compatibility; an ‘intrinsically safe’ label does not replace loop-level verification.Leggi l'analisi →
Valve World examines polymer performance in cryogenic valve seals and the reliability requirements across the LNG value chain.
Cryogenic-valve RFQs should separately specify temperature range, cycling, material compatibility, leakage class, seal life and cryogenic test evidence.Leggi l'analisi →
Worley won three energy-center contracts, creating potential demand for process valves, control valves and packaged equipment.
Project valve procurement should lock down media, pressure-temperature limits, valve class, actuator fail position and inspection-document matrices early, by package.Leggi l'analisi →
Technip Energies won an offshore engineering contract from L&T, highlighting demand for corrosion-resistant valves, compact actuation and traceable quality files.
Offshore RFQs should address seawater and chloride exposure, material system, protection rating, weight limits and inspection hold points beyond generic land-based specs.Leggi l'analisi →
Metso won a €25 million equipment order for the Yenipazar mine, supporting demand for wear- and corrosion-resistant process valves and actuation.
Slurry-service valve RFQs should state solids content, particle size, wear allowance, lining or alloy, flushing and replacement intervals rather than using clean-water specifications.Leggi l'analisi →
SMC expanded the EX600 valve-automation platform for distributed control, status feedback and field-device integration.
Automated-valve procurement should align communication protocol, I/O count, feedback diagnostics, network redundancy, area certification and spares compatibility, not just body price.Leggi l'analisi →
HEROSE introduced its Type 01C07 high-pressure globe valve for gaseous-hydrogen transport systems, with operating pressure up to 500 bar. Buyers should verify pressure rating, material compatibility, sealing and hydrogen-service test records together.
A hydrogen-valve comparison should go beyond size and pressure: include embrittlement risk, fugitive emissions, pressure cycling, end connections and traceable test evidence in the RFQ.Leggi l'analisi →
EBRO Armaturen expanded its EP3 electropneumatic positioner range with an ATEX-certified version and a corrosion-resistant CS5M variant for hazardous or demanding environments.
Specify the positioner with the actuator interface, hazardous-area classification, feedback signal, corrosion environment and spares strategy so a compliant valve is not paired with an incompatible control accessory.Leggi l'analisi →
Dover announced a definitive agreement to acquire Leistung Engineering, a cryogenic-valve manufacturer based in Ahmedabad, India. The transaction may affect product coverage, capacity planning and supplier integration.
An acquisition announcement is not a lead-time or capacity guarantee. Projects should obtain written confirmation of contracting entity, manufacturing location, existing-order protection, quality-system continuity and service responsibility.Leggi l'analisi →
Cox was awarded the construction contract for the Rosarito desalination plant in Baja California, Mexico, through a public tender valued at about $304 million. The project will drive valve and package demand across intake, pretreatment, reverse osmosis and brine systems.
Desalination RFQs should separate medium, chloride exposure, pressure class, lining/alloy, actuation and material certificates rather than reusing a generic water-valve list.Leggi l'analisi →
Curtiss-Wright expanded its teaming agreement with Flexitallic and became the preferred distributor of Flexitallic sealing solutions for the Canadian nuclear market, with implications for maintenance spares and qualified sealing supply.
Nuclear sealing procurement should confirm the qualified supply chain, material heats, traceability, nuclear-quality requirements and outage-window stock; distributor changes should flow into the approved-vendor list.Leggi l'analisi →
MSS announced a revision covering corrosion-resistant gate, globe, angle and check valves.
Corrosion-resistant valve RFQs should identify material standard, grade, temperature, medium and inspection requirements—not only 'stainless steel'.Leggi l'analisi →
API's standards plan lists a tenth-edition milestone for its butterfly-valve standard, prompting edition checks in project specifications.
A new edition does not automatically change existing contracts; new projects should confirm the edition, addenda and errata during clarification.Leggi l'analisi →
MSS announced a new standard addressing valve testing for cryogenic-hydrogen service.
Hydrogen-service selection should separately specify temperature, emissions, material compatibility, test methods and acceptance criteria.Leggi l'analisi →
