Plast-O-Matic Valve's new thermoplastic check valve prevents reverse flow of highly corrosive and ultra-pure liquids. The check-valve's diaphragm provides normally closed operation with a bubble-tight seal. The multi-port manifold valve is available made from PVC, natural polypropylene, and other thermoplastics. Performance of the valve is not dependent on gravity or mounting position. Available connections include threaded, socket, spigot, flare, and O-ring face fittings.

Burkert's Type 2031 diaphragm valve, when combined with the company's 8045 insertion magmeter, provides continuous flow measurement and batch control of fluids. A built-in electrical connection between the sensor and the valve eliminates the need for wiring from a PLC to sensors and actuators. On/off and continuous pneumatic control loops are available for flow requirements in chemical and food processing applications.

The new Apollo radiant heating valve from Conbraco Industries mixes hot water. The valve has an all-bronze body, stainless-steel springs, brass stem and retainer, and a high-temperature thermostat. The temperature-activated valve has a temperature range between 120 and 180F, but the water inlet temperature range is from 140 to 212F. The maximum working pressure is 125 psi. Standard connections are solder, threaded, union/solder, and union/threaded.

A ball valve from Bee Valve made from glass-reinforced polypropylene is suitable for use with water- and oil-based fluids, chemicals, and some acidic fluids. The valve has a self-aligning ball and a handle that opens and closes it. Its pressure rating is 125 psi.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
