Dual three-way isolation valves and internal system configurations, the product simplifies the design of continuous process sample injection and extraction.

able to provide a number of full opening pinch valves at a modest increase in initial power consumption. The valves can accommodate all sizes of silicone tubing up to 9.5mm ( 3 / 8 ") outside diameter, 1.6mm ( 1 / 16 ") wall thickness, and 55-60 shore hardness. The company supports these valve products with its new single valve drivers and power saving circuits for latching, as well as for normally open and normally closed valves. Using the drivers, the power saving full opening latching valves may also operate as NO or NC at the time of system shut down or in the event of a power failure.

NResearch Inc’s model 360T04x Teflon ® isolation valves incorporate two fluidically independent three-way isolation valves operated by a single solenoid. The valves are designed for applications where two independent three-way valves need to be operated at the same time. The single solenoid operation eliminates the need for precision timing. Available in a number of port arrangements

Using the 360T04x isolation valves with the NResearch range of fittings, tubing, connectors and distribution mani- folds can provide a zero dead volume, easy to install and reliable fluidic system.

NResearch has also developed a new solenoid actuator technology, and is

LITE aluminium flanges Fonderia Fazzini’s LITE flanges are claimed to be 30% lighter than current aluminium flanges, thanks to their truncated cone shape, and they provide high strength, certified by RWTüV. The company also states that the flanges are cheaper, saving purchase, transport and installation costs. LITE flanges are compatible with EN PN10/16 standards and they provide an alternative to traditional loose flanges.
