o Helps process control designers meet IEC 61508 & 61511 safety standards Grimsby, Ontario, Canada - Midland-ACS announces that a wide range of its actuator control valve products have undergone third-party assessment to the IEC 61508 functional safety standard, and are now certified to support SIL (safety integrity level) 3 capability. Control valves with this high level of safety integrity are increasingly being specified by process industries to protect personnel and plant, by ensuring fail-safe operation of critical functions such as emergency shutdown. By using SIL3 capable stainless steel valves and actuation controls, designers of safety instrumented systems are able to more easily comply with the risk reduction requirements of the IEC 61508 and 61511 technical safety standards. As part of the process of attaining IEC 61508 certification, Midland-ACS worked closely with the conformity assessment solutions specialist SIRA. "The certification process is all-embracing," says James Kingham of Midland-ACS. "The first part involved analyzing each valve to component level, evaluating the risk, mode and consequences of failure. The second part comprised a comprehensive audit of company processes, including our engineering, production, quality assurance and sales operations. Obtaining SIL3 capability certification for such a broad range of products is a considerable accolade for Midland-ACS, and we are already submitting low service temperature poppet and spool valves, along with further hydraulic products, for assessment." The first tranche of products to receive SIL3 capability status include direct-acting solenoid and pilot operated poppet valves, pilot operated spool valves, and a number of pilot operated and direct-acting solenoid hydraulic valves for use in ballast control systems. The introduction of such a diverse range of SIL3 capable products provides designers of pneumatic and hydraulic actuation systems with significant configuration flexibility. All variants of Midland-ACS' 70 Series direct-acting solenoid 3/2 poppet valves are now certified in accordance with IEC 61508 to have SIL3 support capability. Offering a choice of 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch ports, these valves are designed primarily for actuator control using pneumatic or low-pressure hydraulic media. Two types of solenoid are available, certified to protection classes EExd IIC T6 and T4. A number of 3/2 body ported poppet valves from Midland-ACS' 1750 Series now support SIL3 capability. These compact pilot air operated valves feature large flow paths to minimize pressure drop. Certified models include standard temperature service (-20 to 180 degrees Celsius) valves with Viton seals, spanning port sizes from 1/4 to 1-1/2 inches, as well as 2- and 3-inch port size valves with Nitrile seals. The standard temperature service versions of pilot operated 3/2 spool valves from Midland-ACS' 1500 and 1600 Series also now support SIL3 capability. These Viton-sealed valves offer a choice of 1/4 and 1/2 inch port sizes. Many Midland-ACS hydraulic valve products for ballast control systems are also now certified for SIL3 capability. These include the DN5, DN10 and DN15 Series pilot-operated valves, as well as the DN3 Series direct-acting solenoid valves. All these designs feature an integral balanced piloting system that enables the low-powered solenoid to switch the valve at high pressures. The DN5, 10 and 15 Series products have metal-to-metal seats, while the DN3 Series employs a ceramic ball and a stainless steel seat. The SIL3 capable version of the DN3 offers a stay-put manual override facility, and is available certified for protection classes ExD IIC T6 and T5. All Midland-ACS products certified to SIL3 capability are supplied complete with copies of the Sira certification, which contains all the information that engineers and designers need to calculate the safety integrity level of the complete system, based on its component parts.

This miniature valve could be the answer to your fluid control problem. The MBVMD mixing and diverting ball valve is incredibly small. It weighs only 12 grams and is exceptionally compact with a height of just 0.77 inch. Imagine the possibilities this valve offers to you for your next design. What does a mixing and diverting ball valve do you ask? An excellent question. The MBVMD is designed with a common inlet port (let's call it port A) which can be put in communication with the outlet ports, individually (directing flow to port B or to port C), for diverting service. Flow can also be directed from port A to both port B and port C simultaneously. Alternatively, for mixing applications, flow can directed into ports B and C and out to port A. In addition to the MBVMD we also offer the MBV ball valve (for on/off applications) and the MBVT selector ball valve (for directing flow to either port A or port B). All three ball valves are made from corrosion resistant 303 stainless steel (316 stainless steel is an option) with a selection of elastomer seal materials. Buna-N is standard. Viton® and EPDM are optional. A Teflon® seat is used to seal the ball. So what should you do next?

One of the key elements in selecting the right check or relief valve is Flow Capacity. This essential element is often not given enough consideration, especially when a replacement valve is being specified. Because of this, a common problem that arises is the valve will be over-sized for the application. When the flow is insufficient to keep the valve open, it will "chatter" and may result in premature wear and eventual valve failure. Another common mistake is replacing the valve based on the existing valve size instead of considering the flow requirements. Unlike a ball valve, check and relief valves typically are not full flow devices and flow rates can also vary depending on operating conditions. This is where you may need some guidance. At Circle Valve we review your application and process to gain an overall understanding of the system and the requirements. We look at several parameters:<br> <li> Operating Pressure<br> <li> Crack Pressure<br> <li> Flow Requirement<br> <li> Media compatibility<br> <li> Piping size<br> <li> Temperature<br> <li> Piping and performance<br> <li> Economics All of these elements guide us to design the correct valve for the application. We then research the availability and lead-times which, in some cases, can be several weeks for delivery. However, Circle Valve is a stocking distributor so most often we can supply the correct valve solution quickly as well as provide testing to ensure performance in your application.
