Condensate Pumps

Condensate pumps are used to collect and transport condensate back into a steam system for reheating and reuse, or to remove unwanted condensate from an HVAC or appliance collection pan.

Crucibles

Crucibles are vessels used to melt and process materials at high temperatures.

Electrodes and Electrode Materials

Electrodes and electrode materials are metals and other substances used as the makeup of electrical components. They are used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit, and are the materials in a system through which an electrical current is transferred.

Gas Valves

Gas valves are used to handle and control the flow of gaseous media such as liquefied petroleum and natural gas. They are made of metal or plastic and vary in terms of valve size, pressure rating, number of ports, and flow.

Globe Valves

Globe valves are linear motion valves with rounded bodies, from which their name is derived.  They are widely used in industry to regulate fluid flow in both on/off and throttling service. 

Industrial Thermometers

Industrial thermometers are basic bulb style thermometers designed for use in many industrial applications. Traditional liquid-in-glass design is typically used due to low cost and ease of use.

Pressure Switches

Pressure switches are actuated by a change in the pressure of a liquid or gas.  They activate electromechanical or solid-state switches upon reaching a specific pressure level.

Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.

Temperature Controllers

Temperature controllers accept inputs from temperature sensors or thermometers, and then output a control signal to keep the temperature at the desired level.

Thermal Switches and Thermal Protectors

Thermostats and thermal switches are electro-mechanical on/off switches that are activated by temperature changes. They are typically used to control heating and cooling systems.

Thermopiles

Thermopiles are thermocouples arrays, wired in series that are used in motion sensing applications.
