ASCO Numatics introduced the 362 and 562 Series of stainless steel spool valves for control valve automation in the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas markets.
The ASCO 562 Series is a four-way spool valve designed for double-acting process valves. The 362 Series is a three-way valve made for single-acting process valve applications. Both valve lines are available in 1/4-inch, 316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The 362 and 562 Series valves offer low-power solenoid versions that consume only 1.4 watts, making them highly energy-efficient. A 0.55 watt solenoid option is coming soon that will be ideal for remote applications requiring alternate energy sources.
“Our new valves have extensive manual and low-temperature versions”, said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing – Americas, ASCO Numatics. “In addition, ASCO’s solenoid options include a low-power solenoid with UL, CSA, ATEX and IECEX hazardous location approvals that will support global designs. This flexibility makes the 362 and 562 Series spool valves ideal for a wide variety of upstream and mid-stream oil and gas, plus downstream hydrocarbon and petrochemical processing applications”, he said.
Popular constructions will be available for Same-Day shipping with no expediting fees via ASCO Express. The valves can be ordered through ASCO distributors and sales representatives.
