‘Proportional Valves’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
James Walker designs advanced seat material from
James Walker and Co, which we summarised at the time by saying "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers from
Sherborne Sensors: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from IFM Electronic
- take a look at IFM magnetic meters accept higher flow rates
which says: "IFM Electronic is offering larger versions of the SM Series Magmeter. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Instron, Instron extensometer has rugged construction,
as well as Yokogawa enhances production control system from Yokogawa,
and SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments.
