ASCO Numatics: New 364 Series Stainless Steel Spool Valve for Oil & Gas Control Panel Applicactions

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Oct. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- ASCO Numatics has introduced its ASCO 364 Series spool valve (http://www.ascovalve.com/SpoolValve) for control panel applications in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry. The new valve combines compact construction with low-power options that feature higher operating pressures and temperature ratings than competitive models.

“ASCO’s new spool valve (http://www.ascovalve.com/SpoolValve) incorporates rugged 316L stainless steel construction and our proven solenoid valve technology for the greatest corrosion resistance and highest reliability in harsh upstream exploration and production environments,” said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing — Americas, ASCO Numatics. “The valves are designed for drop-in replacement and compatibility with most existing control panel (http://www.ascovalve.com/SpoolValve) applications, and popular versions are available through our ASCO TODAY and ASCO 5Day quick-shipping programs. This makes them ideal for maintenance programs that require long-lived products with rapid delivery,” he said.

The 364 Series valve line includes low-power solenoid (http://www.ascovalve.com/SpoolValve) (at 1.4W and 1.8W) options that consume less energy than competitive products. They also are available with higher operating pressures (150 psi) and temperature ratings (200° F).

“Unlike its competitors, ASCO manufactures its own solenoids and subjects them to the industry’s most rigorous testing program,” said Kemple. “The result is the highest reliability available — an essential benefit for products installed on upstream oil and gas production platforms operating in harsh environments.”

The 364 Series spool valve is offered in a wide range of manual, pneumatic, and solenoid options. The product line is backed up by ASCO’s easy-to-reach, comprehensive global technical and application support.

The valves can be ordered through ASCO distributors and sales representatives. For more information, contact ASCO at 800-972-ASCO (2726), e-mail info-valve@ascovalve.com, or visit www.ascovalve.com/spoolvalve.
