Valves and

controls distributor

TYCO Flow Control, part of Tyco

International Ltd, is a manufacturer and

marketer of valves and controls, water

and environmental systems, and thermal

control solutions to industries including

energy, power, water, mining, chemical,

food and beverage, and construction.

Tyco Valves & Controls Italia’s sales

and distribution operation has earned

OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 certification,

after an in-depth evaluation of the

company’s quality and health and safety

management systems through SGS.

While Tyco Valves & Controls Italia’s

production facilities already possessed

the most up-to-date certifications, the

sales and distribution arm – which

stocks, assembles, delivers and services

the complete range of Tyco products –

was determined to show its commitment

to quality and health and safety in the

assembly, distribution and sale of all

brands within Tyco products portfolio.

Commenting on the news, operations

manager Adriano Marziali said,

“This demonstrates the whole

organisation’s commitment to improving

our management systems. The

implementation of OHSAS 18001 and

ISO 9001 shows we are ideally placed to

meet the requirements of major industrial

end users, EPCs and other customers,

but it is also helping us to drive continued

improvement into our business.”

Single-stage diaphragm high

flow pressure regulators

BESWICK Engineering has launched an ultra-miniature single-stage diaphragm

pressure regulator designed to provide greater flow than the Beswick PRD series

regulators. The high flow regulator is offered in a 10-32 ported version (PRDHF)

and a manifold mount version (PRDHF8).

The PRDHF high flow regulator is claimed to set an industry standard for

miniaturisation. It is suitable for gas and pneumatic pressure regulation

applications and is particularly useful when space and weight are critical. The

PRDHF weighs approximately 35g in brass and stainless steel and about 18.2g

in aluminium. The non-relieving high flow regulator controls output pressures

from 0 to 30 psig and is suited to low pressure regulation such as ½ psig.

Maximum inlet supply pressure is 500 psig. Both the inlet and outlet ports are

tapped 10-32 UNF.

The PRDH8 manifold mount version has similar features to the PRDHF, but weighs

52g in brass and stainless steel; the inlet is a 5/16-24 UNF external thread and outlet

port is through a 0.094" diameter hole at the base of the regulator body.

Applications include hydrogen fuel cells, medical equipment, instruments,

laboratory equipment, ink jet print engines, and semiconductor manufacturing

equipment. Beswick has applied for patent protection on the pressure regulator.
