Giving Valves a Workout

Manual valve exercising is a time-consuming process, and one that poses risks of injury to employees and damage to valves. Valve-exercising technology is designed to automate the process, so that employees do not subject themselves to the strain of turning large or stuck valves, and so that only appropriate levels of torque are applied to valves. Automationhas the added advantage of enabling easy ...
