ASCO, a US manufacturer of comprehensive fluid automation solutions, including valve technology, has introduced its ASCO 362 and 562 Series of brass and stainless steel spool valves in ¾-inch and 1-inch sizes, featuring the industry’s highest flow rates. These new sizes provide design engineers with attractive new solutions for control valve automation in the upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas markets.
“With the introduction of these 362 and 562 Series products, ASCO is becoming a comprehensive product line supplier with exciting new capabilities for upstream oil and gas automation,” said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing — Americas, ASCO. “We are the industry’s only provider that offers a ¾-inch size in stainless steel 3-way and 4-way models and a 1-inch size in a stainless steel 4-way model.”
The valves’ exceptionally high flow rates will enable original equipment manufacturers to use smaller piping and purchase lower cost valves while achieving the same flow specifications. Both ¾-inch and 1-inch valves improve flow by 35% over their respective competitive valves.
