November Announcement

 
October 2009


Rather than cut R&D when times got lean, DMIC put emphasis on new product development. Now that the economic malaise is beginning to wane, the strong lineup of upcoming DMIC products for diverse sectors will help bring new sales opportunities to your company, with the right product at the right time.

This month, we present the new BVALP Low Profile 2½"-6" valve for Suction-250 PSI, and BVFQ Fire Safe series for fluids & gases. Both valve series are shipping now, with Spec Sheets, product info, and sharp-pencil pricing ready for your new projects and sales prospects. Both models are Made in U.S.A.

The point of using a large bore inlet line in complex power units is to avoid problems. This month, our Engineers (including a college hydraulics teacher emeritus) present the first DMICTechTalk article, on Cavitation. Learn about best practices on sizing guidelines, with a spotlight on the DMIC 'SSW' Power Unit Layout System.

Thank you for reviewing our New Product Announcement. If there is any application where we can offer selection assistance or pricing, for standard or custom products, please don't hesitate to contact me at 1-800-248-DMIC or by email.

Sincerely Yours,

BVALP Low Profile 2½" - 6", for 29"Hg-250PSI

Compact relative size of these large bore valves simplifies layout with lower mass & space requirements
The BVALP is a low profile reservoir mounted or inline shutoff valve with O-Ring sealing and DMIC's SSW System integration. Available reservoir weld, and a wide array of flange options including SAE, ANSI & DIN, enables new, creative designs in large fluid connections. Accepts the wide array of DMIC Pre-Engineered Accessories such as locking kits, limit & proxy switches, and actuation. Chromium free plating and stainless steel options available.

 


BVFQ Fire-Safe Valve for Fluids
BVFQG Fire-Safe Valve for Gases
½" to 6", special order to 12"

Useful wherever a high pressure, Fire Safe valve meeting the API 607 (5th edition) standard is specified
BVFQ and BVFQG Fire Safe valves are the rebuildable, U.S. made choice for installations involving petrochemical, refining, CNG/Hydrogen distribution, and the Oil Patch. Bring DMIC's on-time delivery, fast spares availability, and durability that made DMIC famous in the Fluid Power sector, to API users and applications.

Cavitation


Guidelines for hydraulic power unit inlet valve sizing


There are many enemies of a well operating hydraulic system: contamination, heat, and cavitation are just a few. The word cavitation covers multiple meanings in fluid dynamics but usually when applied to pumps refers to entrained air in the suction line, or the vaporization of fluids. This has many damaging effects, like excessive pump noise, poor system performance, and pump failure.

Luckily, cavitation can be prevented. When designing a suction line for your pump, the fluid velocity should be under 5 fps (feet per second). High suction line velocities may result in low suction line pressures and the possibility of pump damage due to cavitation. DMIC's SSW components can help prevent costly pump failures, with their full bore design and smooth flow passages, to reduce flow restriction and fluid vaporization.

Spotlight: DMIC SSW Power Unit Layout System

DMIC's SSW System works with BVAL and BVALP suction valves to provide O-Ring sealed connections for your HPU inlet all the way to the pump, from ¾" to 6" sizes.

Although they cost more than NPT plumbing fittings, it's almost impossible not to save money by specifying DMIC SSW !

  • Repeatable across HPU's, build an identical unit years later
  • Mechanically rigid, for industrial and mobile HPUs
  • Unrestricted, smooth, properly radiused flow passages for low pressure drop
  • Allows cleaning of weld spatter before valve installation, no heat damage from welding
  • Reduced start-up filtration stress
  • Reduced skilled welding labor
  • The Green choice: eliminates NPT drip and adds energy efficiency
  • Complete array of adapters in inline, 45° & 90° elbows
  • Custom sizes, angles & stainless steel available
