Steam QM®-1 Automatic Steam Quality Monitoring
Quicker and consistently more reliable and accurate than manual methods, Armstrong’s Steam QM®-1 automatically detects the dryness fraction of steam and provides continuous steam quality measurement data trending over time.
VERIS Accelabar® Flow Measurement
No straight run of pipe? No problem for Armstrong’s patented flow meter. VERIS Accelabar® delivers reliable accuracy in utility metering and submetering without strict installation requirements. In a class of its own, this highly accurate flow measurement device has a patented no-straight-pipe installation requirement. VERIS Accelabar® provides exceptional versatility, with turndown capabilities over a large range of flow rates.
PLC With Integrated HMI
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) performs all thermal and cost calculations. Operators and personnel monitor system information in real time using the integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI).
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs)
Armstrong can help you manage your steam, air and liquid systems safely and efficiently with pressure reducing valves (PRVs) to maintain constant pressure for process control and uninterrupted productivity. We offer several types of PRVs to match your requirements.
Python® 1500 Series Control Valve
