Valve World Americas is Part of a Continuum
McIlvaine coverage of Valve World Americas 2015 included a speech and interviews
with many exhibitors. The guiding principle is to build on previous knowledge
and to create decision systems which take advantage of the wisdom gained with
each event. Many of the exhibitors also participated in Valve World Expo last
December in Dusseldorf. McIlvaine delivered the following speech there.
Western Europe Industrial Valve Market and Sales Guide

Americas 2013. All these can be viewed at:

Rather than take stand and product pictures this year McIlvaine has created a
guide called Valve Options at VW 2015. The focus is on unique or new options
displayed by the exhibitors.
Valve Options at VW 2015
Company/Valve Type/ Applications Unique Performance Unique Features

desuperheating Only metal seated modulating control valve with zero leakage
Omal
Trunnion ball valve Greater size, lifetime, reliability and pressure than
floating
Valmatic
Trunnion Avoids scale and solids build-up Four receded surfaces of ball provide
multiple flow paths and self-flushing
Clarke Industrial
Shutter valve Precise flow control, eliminates turbulence and cavitation
Red Point Alloys
Globe

control increased temperature and pressure
DFT
Check valve PDC
Recip - compressors Maintain disc in open position during momentary reductions
in flow, reduces seat wear Spring assisted, nozzle style
Unique pulse damping chamber
We are going to be adding to and revising this list through input from the valve
suppliers. If you are a supplier, we invite you to send us data on your unique
or new products. The format would be your name, valve type, applications, unique
performance and unique features.
