Saunders® I-VUE Smart Valve Sensor from CRANE ChemPharma Flow Solutions

The Saunders I-VUE is designed specifically for aseptic diaphragm valve applications in the Life Science industry. Compatible with Point-to-Point (P2P), AS-i and DeviceNet control systems, the Saunders I-VUE offers substantial benefits over standard switch controls including:

Enhanced reliability and accuracy with solid state continuous sensing technology that provides precise position readings for the entire valve range from 0.25″ to 4.00″ (DN8 to DN100).
Simplified installation by utilizing automated valve calibration without opening the IP67 rated polycarbonate sensor enclosure, reducing set up times to 3 minutes or less.
Lower maintenance costs by applying factory or user defined device settings to monitor valve cycle count and end point tolerance limits, preventing false alarms and unnecessary diaphragm replacement.

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated

While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
