ASCO has introduced its ASCO 362 and 562 Series of brass and stainless steel spool valves in ¾-inch and 1-inch sizes featuring the industry’s highest flow rates. These new sizes provide design engineers with attractive new solutions for control valve automation in the upstream, midstream, and downstream oil and gas markets.
The valves’ exceptionally high flow rates will enable original equipment manufacturers to use smaller piping and purchase lower cost valves while achieving the same flow specifications. Both ¾-inch and 1-inch valves improve flow by 35% over their respective competitive valves.
The 362 and 562 Series valves are available in brass and 316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The series includes both pneumatic and solenoid models. Optional features include: new dual approved solenoid option with ATEX d and UL hazardous location approvals; low-temperature models rated at -40° C and momentary manual override.
The ASCO 362 Series is a three-way valve made for single-acting process valve applications. The ASCO 562 Series is a four-way spool valve designed for double-acting process valves.
