Buckling Pin Technology

< PRODUCTS /Model "W-A" – Actuator pilot for a single set pressure source

The Model "W-A" pilot allows sensing a pressure source with a 316 piston, trim, and cylinder and at set pressure, send clean fluids to a valve actuator through a 2- position –
3-way spool valve for a spring ended actuator or a 2-position – 5-way spool valve for a pressure-pressure actuator. This allows you to turn any quarter-turn valve into a relief valve or an emergency shutdown valve.

• The spool valve is sized for the actuator speed required.

• The spool valve can work with clean fluids to 250 PSI.

• The Buckling Pin spool pilot valve can have set pressure from 1 to 5,000 PSI but is not adaptable for fluids that will solidify in the piston chamber.

ADVANTAGES: Excellent accuracy, simplicity(one moving part) and proven reliability. The sensing accuracy is +/– 5% of set point.

APPLICATIONS: Turn any quarter-turn valve into a relief valve or an emergency shutdown valve.

PROXIMITY SENSOR OPTION: Gives a remote indication of the pin buckling and the spool shifting.

RESETTING: To reset the pilot, vent the system pressure, remove the holding nut, discard the buckled pin, push the spool in, install a new pin, screw in the holding nut and put system pressure again on the Buckling Pin piston.

Additional advantages of using Buckling Pin ESV's are as follows:
• You get safety without venting pollution.
• No product loss by venting.
• No flare system required.
• No yearly valve testing.
• No required replacing of pin yearly due to fatigue.
• The pin obeys Euler's Law precisely and cannot fatigue.
• There is no set pressure variation with ambient temperature change on the pin.
• The beauty of our system is in its simplicity. (In many, there is only one moving part and
.....in all designs, the precise pin is the sensor and actuator.)
• The standard accuracy is +/- 5%.
• Buckled pins can be replaced in minutes.
• Replacement pins are relatively inexpensive and, if ordered from the factory before noon,
.....they can be shipped the same business day.
