Valves
Instrument valves connect, isolate and set up pressure instruments on the process. PIC Engineering supplies Aplisens 3 and 5 valve manifolds, needle valves, ball valves and fittings, and the APIS electro-pneumatic positioner for control valves. Tell us the transmitter and the process connection, and we supply the matching manifold and fittings. See the Aplisens range.
APIS Electropneumatic positioner
The Aplisens APIS series features intelligent electropneumatic positioners that provide fast, precise control of linear and rotary valve actuators. The range includes the standard aluminium APIS-100, a rugged stainless steel variant, and the ATEX-certified intrinsically safe APIS-Ex for hazardous zones. It processes standard 4–20 mA signals or HART 6 commands, using a microprocessor to compare the target position against physical valve feedback. Internal fast-switching pneumatic valves adjust compressed air to align the stem, ensuring a fine 0.1% dead band sensitivity.
The positioner can cooperate with single-acting actuators manufactured by Polna S.A., Samson, Arca Regler, Spiral-Sarco and double-acting actuators manufactured by Prema Kielce, Air Torque, Festo, Ebro Armaturen, El-0-Matic and by other manufacturers using proper mechanical coupling components.

Tell us the duty, we will find the instrument.
Medium, range, temperature and connection is all we need. Valves is a fraction of what the 14 principals build, and anything they list we can quote.
