Vindum Engineering Inc. products

Vindum Engineering has recently increased the number of different types of CV (Constant Volume) valves to include valves with 1/4 inch fittings. For the past 17 years the standard CV valves were designed for 1/8` tubing. As with the older line of CV valves, the new line is available in on/off and 3-way/4-position versions. The table below shows the model numbers available with either stainless steel or Hastelloy C-276 wetted parts. The main valve seals can be Buna, Viton, Teflon, UHMW or Aflas. The choice, of course, depends on your application.

Vindum VP-Series pumps are dual-piston high-pressure metering pumps that deliver ultra-precise, pulse-free, continuous flow in either constant-pressure or constant-rate modes, at up to 25,000 psi. High-temperature versions allow wetted parts of the pump to be heated to 320°F (160°C). Leading-edge design, compact size, and attractive pricing make these metering pumps perfect for a wide range of applications.

The features, durability, and reliability of CV-Series valves make them a cost-effective solution for the most exacting laboratory flow-control requirements. The patented constant-volume design is only one of the features of these 2-way and 3-way laboratory valves. Originally developed to enable pulse-free fluid flow in dual-piston displacement pumps, the design is widely used in a range of high-pressure applications.  CV valves are designed for use with 1/8” tubing or 1/4" tubing, depending on the model.

Vindum Engineering’s line of Hastelloy needles valves offer safe and reliable flow control of pressures to 12,000 psi (at ambient temperature) and tubing of 1/8” or 1/16” diameter. The innovative MV-210 and MV-310 (two-stem) valves and MV components all share the small footprint design that simplifies mounting and makes it easy to build compact fluid control systems.

MV Connectors include Unions, Tees, Crosses, and Multi-Port Manifolds (special order). Using the same body design and footprint and the MV Valves, these connectors are designed for easy mounting, using the 1”/25mm mounting points on each corner of the connector and the available breadboard mounting grid or strut mounting systems.

The NERAS-2000 is a precision ultrasonic level monitor. The NERAS-2000 measures the level of two fluids or a fluid and a gas in a gravity-based 2-phase high-pressure separator. It provides output signals (serial, ethernet) proportional to either absolute level or relative to a user-selectable set-point.

The NERAS-3000 measures the level of two fluids and a gas in a gravity-based 3-phase high-pressure separator. It provides output signals (serial, ethernet) proportional to either absolute level or relative to a user-selectable set-point.

The single sample desaturation cell desaturates a core sample by virtue of the porous plate method. The sample desaturation cell is manufactured from stainless steel and resting on its base is a semi-permeable ceramic plate. It consists of a pressure vessel with an easy opening lid, clamping bolts, O-rings, seals, tubing and a pressure control panel. Three different operating pressure ceramic plates are provided with the system; namely, 1 bar, 5 bar and 15 bar. The control panel includes a digital pressure display, two low and high range pressure regulators and a set of control valves. Moreover, an in-line gas humidifier is integrated into the circuit to prevent in-situ evaporation during the desaturation process.

The automated saturator sequentially performs vacuum and saturation cycles on both plug and whole core size samples. Initially, the samples are placed in a wire mesh basket, lowered into the saturation cell and the latter is sealed with a threaded plug. Optionally, a large capacity cell can be provided to accommodate full size core samples. The system is then evacuated by applying high vacuum for a few hours. The vacuum pump is connected to the system via a liquid trap tank and a feed tank. This configuration enables both air evacuation and liquid dearation. The trap tank protects the vacuum pump by collecting potential vapor droplets. Once vacuum has been established, the pump is turned off and the system, vented to atmospheric pressure.
