There are continuous improvements in the air valve industry regarding safety and performance. Recent innovations have set a standard for safety valve operation that can more accurately measure and respond to various situations. These reliable products can be designed to lower operation costs while maintaining a consistent and effective work zone. Newer plastic air valves have proven to be a suitable alternative to metal air valves. These modernized electronic plastic valves are engineered to produce the exact pressures required for the specific applications. These plastic innovations are very similar to... Read More

A solenoid valve is one part of a system or machine that is exclusively installed to regulate the flow of a substance, such as liquid or gas throughout the machine or system. Solenoid air valves specifically are designed to allow or block the passage of air or gas. Of all the valves available in the industrial product market today, why are solenoid air valves a popular choice? Besides being a dependable product with a long operation life-span, solenoid valves are one of the quickest valves on the market. Particularly when... Read More

by Rebekah Fuller, Editor for IQS Equipping a hydraulic or pneumatic valve with a solenoid coil adds a higher level of control to air or fluid flow regulation. Unlike regular valves that rely on changes in gas or fluid pressure to open or close, solenoid valves are operated electromechanically with a magnetized solenoid coil that responds to targeted electrical charges for precise flow control. Because of the ability to be controlled remotely and cued by sensors or hysteresis (device memory), the solenoid valve is an intelligent gadget. The solenoid coil... Read More

Recently, on a visit home to my mother's house, I discovered she was going to have to have her washing machine fixed. Upon asking what was wrong with the machine she told me she wasn't quite sure, but that from what the repairman told her it probably was something to do with a thing called the solenoid valve. I immediately did some research on this little part and found that it's a rather important element in the proper functioning of a washing machine. The solenoid valve in her washer was... Read More

A smart air valve uses a microprocessor to help determine the best time and way to activate the valve. The processor inside of the valve controls the flow rate of the valve, ensuring that the perfect amount of air is always allowed in and out of the valve at the right time. A valve that can think on its own is highly useful in many industries. This prevents overheating, blow-outs, and other common problems associated with failing valves. Smart air valves can present the following benefits to the owner: Flow... Read More

When I am shopping for clothes, I pay close attention to the types of fabric I am considering purchasing, which plays just as important a role in my clothing decisions as color and style. The same can be said for those industrial buyers who are looking for air valves. These mechanisms are vital to the speed, health and overall function of a variety of systems, such as natural gas machinery in industrial and commercial settings. Some systems in residential settings also benefit from the presence of an air valve, such... Read More
