Brief: Curious about how this performs in practice? Join us for a hands-on look at the ASCO G531C001MS 2-Position, 3-Way Steam Solenoid Valve. In this video, we'll demonstrate its operation with saturated and superheated steam, showcase its rugged brass and stainless steel construction, and explain how its compact, serviceable design makes it ideal for steam tracing and humidification applications.
Related Product Features:
  • Engineered specifically for reliable performance with saturated and superheated steam media.
  • 2-position, 3-way normally closed function applies pressure to NC port and switches to NO port when energized.
  • Rugged brass body construction with stainless steel plunger, spring, and PTFE seals for corrosion resistance.
  • Direct-acting operation requires zero minimum pressure differential for reliable performance.
  • Serviceable in-line design allows for easy maintenance without removing from the pipeline.
  • Compact space-saving design facilitates easier panel or system integration in industrial settings.
  • Handles maximum steam pressure of 150 psi (10.3 bar) and fluid temperatures up to 365°F (185°C).
  • Ideal for steam tracing, humidification systems, and small process control applications.
FAQs:
  • What types of media is the ASCO G531C001MS valve designed for?
    This valve is specifically engineered for saturated and superheated steam applications. It should not be used with other media unless compatibility has been verified, as it's optimized for steam service conditions.
  • What is the operating principle of this 3-way solenoid valve?
    The valve operates as a 2-position, 3-way normally closed device. In its resting state, pressure is applied to the normally closed (NC) port. When the coil is energized, the flow switches to the normally open (NO) port, allowing for diverting or selecting steam flow paths.
  • What maintenance considerations are important for this steam solenoid valve?
    Install a strainer upstream to protect against pipeline debris. Ensure the system is completely depressurized and cooled before performing any maintenance. The valve features serviceable in-line design, allowing maintenance without removing the entire body from the pipeline.
  • What are the temperature and pressure limits for this valve?
    The ASCO G531C001MS handles maximum steam pressure of 150 psi (10.3 bar) and maximum fluid temperatures up to 365°F (185°C). It operates from 0 psi minimum pressure differential due to its direct-acting design.
