Diecasters See Buyers Switching to U.S. Sourcing
The North American Die Casting Assn. reports that a recent survey of its members reveals a significant majority, 78%, have evidence that buyers of their products are shifting to domestic sources for diecast components. The survey identifies three reasons for these shifts: buyers' concerns about the product quality, supplier proximity, and overseas logistics. Proximity to suppliers may be a determining factor for OEMS because delivery raises cost and production time. Together, these increases may eliminate any savings from offshore production.

Graphic Symbols for Arc Welding and Cutting Apparatus
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published EW 4-2009, the first new edition in 15 years. This standard provides manufacturers and users of arc welding and cutting equipment with a system for the development and use of graphic symbols for use on their equipment. It accommodates non-English speaking and functionally illiterate workers in the U.S. In addition, globalization of the welding and cutting industry has also expanded, making it necessary for U.S.-based manufacturers to design and mark their products in a way that is more easily understood by a more linguistically and culturally diverse customer base. As a result, the new edition of EW 4 contains all pertinent graphic symbols recognized by IEC TC 26, the international standards committee for electric welding and allied processes.
EW 4-2009 may be downloaded at no charge or a hard copy purchased for $114 by visiting NEMA's website HERE.

800/900 Series Bleed Valves
BEREA, OH: 800/900 Series Bleed Valves provide a convenient means to relieve process pressures trapped between a shut off valve and the instrument. The 800/900 Bleed Valves use the same patented features as the NOSHOK 100/150 Series Mini Valves, with an integrated single threaded body for insertion in a vent port. The Bleed Valve provides shutoff to a small bleed hole located on the side the hex which vents to atmosphere. These Valves are available in electroless nickel plated 12L14 steel, electropolished 316 stainless steel and 360 brass. All bleed valves are equipped with a Viton® O-ring and Teflon® back up ring below the stem threads to protect against corrosion and galling. Teflon® or Grafoil® packing are optional. Their stem threads are rolled for greater strength and ease of operation, and they have a maximum pressure rating of 10,000 psi for steel and stainless models, and 6000 psi for brass models. --- NOSHOK Inc.

Butterfly Valves with Internal Disc/Stem Connections
HOUSTON, TX: Bray Controls has designed a line of 22" to 96" (550 mm to 2400 mm) resilient, seated butterfly valves specifically for highly abrasive and corrosive applications. These valves meet process requirements with chloride content from low to very high parts per million in applications such as seawater, mining, sanitary service and FGD at an economical price. The internal disc-to-stem connections prevent many valve failures due to erosion, corrosion and vibration. The splined disc-to-stem connection features matched, precision machined male splines in the stem and female in the disc, and it is available in valve sizes ranging from 22" to 48" (550 mm to 1200 mm). For larger valves from 52" to 96" (1300 mm to 2400 mm), the double keyed disc-to-stem connection offers double keyways machined into the disc, matching double keys in the stem. --- Bray Controls

Corzan CPVC Solenoid Valves
CEDAR GROVE, NJ: Plast-O-Matic Valves, Inc. has announced the addition of Corzan CPVC Solenoid Valves to meet the increasing demand of higher temperatures in corrosive applications. The electrically-actuated valve is normally-closed and features a PTFE bellows seal with no wetted metals or elastomers. This design, combined with the Corzan body, allows for the valve's compatibility with highly aggressive, corrosive liquids, thereby eliminating contamination in the system. The solenoid coil is rated Nema 4X, and is available AC or DC, in a variety of voltages. Use of Corzan CPVC gives the valve an advantage over PVC in its ability to handle hot corrosive liquids in service temperatures to 180° F. Corzan valves can be joined by solvent cementing, threading, or flanging. Corzan solenoid valves are available direct-acting in 1/4" through 1" pipe sizes, and up to 2" in a pilot-operated style. The valves can be factory modified for special applications. --- Plast-O-Matic Valves Inc.
