Click here to enlarge imageResearch conducted by Italian pump maker Caprari has led to creation of ENDURANCE, the new pump series equipped with DEFENDER™, a smart device designed, tested and patented by the company to protect pumps from electrochemical corrosion and galvanic currents, passivating the stainless steel so as to create a safety barrier.
The new series is microcast in stainless steel seamless construction, which offers superior efficiency ratings as it allows hydraulic profiles to be optimized. This means less friction and turbulence, while the hydraulic profiles themselves are less pronounced. Optimized efficiency ratings lead to energy and life cycle financial savings: the maximum quality/price ratio.
The thick stainless steel used and seamless construction make the new pump series extremely resistant to wear from sand and abrasion in general.

New Armstrong valves
Armstrong extended its range of commissioning valves for applications from DN15 to DN300. New additions are rugged, commercial/industrial grade BS-7350 compliant ARMflo CBV-G commissioning valves, constructed of ductile iron in DN65, DN80, DN100, DN125, DN150, DN200, DN250 and DN-300 sizes. The multi-turn micrometer style handle enables precise valve adjustment to design flow rates with high repeatability. They’re delivered as variable orifice double regulating valves with grooved connections. A wye-pattern globe valve design cuts turbulence induction and sensitivity compared to low-end “butterflies”. A split-case body design enables quick conversion from straight to 90° elbow.
