Testing a Water Line Check Valve

Tuesday, January 31, 2012
posted by MyStainlessKitchen

A check valve may be installed in a house water line in order to regulate water entering and exiting. Though a check valve in a water line requires little external interference, it is important to test the check valve every now and then to ensure the correct water pressure is entering the home. To test the check valve, begin by opening the high-side and low-side bypass valves. Then attach the high-side hose on the test kit to the fitting, which is usually to the left side of the check valve.

The low-side of the hose from the test kit should be attached to the testcock to the right of check valve. Turn off the first shut-off valve (connected to the water line) and then slowly open the testcocks to which the hoses are attached. Open the high-side bleed valve and then close the low-side bleed valve. Read the PSI on the test kit to see if the water pressure is where it needs to be.

Types of Butterfly Valves

Tuesday, December 27, 2011
posted by MyStainlessKitchen

Butterfly valves are typically used to isolate or regulate the flow of water. There are three main types of butterfly valves: concentric, double eccentric, and triple eccentric. The concentric butterfly valve usually has a rubber seat with a metal disc.

A double eccentric, or high performance butterfly valve, can have a variety of materials for the seat and disc. A triple eccentric butterfly valve, also known as triple offset butterfly valve, can be made with either a laminated or solid metal seat design. The triple offset valve design are used solely in applications that require bi-directional shut-off, such as in oil and gas, chemical factories, and ship building.

Backwater Check Valve

posted by MyStainlessKitchen

There are different types of check valves. The one type that you will want to make sure that it is working in excellent condition is a backwater valve. This type of valve is used for sanitary drainage systems. If you have ever had a sewage backup then you know exactly how important it is to make sure that this type of valve is functioning properly.

A backwater check valve protects lower located rooms against flooding caused by return flow of sewage waters. Backwater valve prevents rodents and rats to enter the sanitary and rainwater drainage system as well as the building interiors. Preventing a sewage blockage is something that is important to prevent. The smell is un godly as well as the clean up.

Waterjet Services

Is water capable of cutting eight-inch thick materials? Definitely – waterjet cutting combines cutting and machining. It has the precision to cut a wide range of materials, complex shapes, and detailed corners with a high degree of accuracy.

Using this technology, we can rapidly transform your ideas into completed projects. Cutting at room temperature, there’s no heat-affected zone, thermal stress, hardening, or annealing of material. We can achieve net or near-net shapes right off the machine. The process produces a smooth, satin-like finish with superior edge quality – no metal contamination, distortion, fraying, cracking, or delamination. The narrow kerf width enables close nesting of parts and raw material savings, and it’s easy to pierce starter holes.

Since different jobs don’t require different tooling, there’s no need for costly and time-consuming tool changes. Multiple-head cutting and material stacking reduces overall unit cost and increases productivity. No other tool cuts or machines a greater variety of materials.

We provide you with one main control panel (configurable & scalable) and a separate high voltage motor panel. Having a separate high voltage panel helps keep the PLC cool & promotes safety by reducing unnecessary exposure to the higher voltage.

We offer touch screen operation (push button available). Touch screen operation enables the inclusion of safety features in the programming. It makes operation easy. Touch screen operation is ideal for use in a production line as it is a ‘user friendly’ interface. Operators are able to easily navigate the production line and its individual machines. With an image of the machine accompanying its specific controls, precision is easier than ever.

We do programming! Controls can be programmed to offer multiple recipes steps, ensuring consistency by reducing human input. Utilize batch control; it organizes activities/functions specifically, ensuring consistency.
