New VPI sets new standard for reliable position detection of multi turn valves Netherlocks Safety Systems has launched its next generation Valve Position Indicators for manual multi turn valves: the VPI A-series and S-series. With these new models, Netherlocks offers a highly accurate and reliable alternative for existing position indicators in the market. For detecting the open and closed position of manual quarter turn valves, many switch boxes and related products are readily available. However for manual hand wheel operated valves, operating companies still often create their own solutions with custom made bracketing and proximity switches. The Netherlocks Valve Position Indicator (VPI) now offers an accurate and reliable, off the shelf solution that fits any type of multi-turn valve. A mechanical counting mechanism is protected by a aluminum (A-series) or AISI 316 (S-series) housing. Integrated sensors detect the end positions of the counter and transfer that information directly to the control room, giving a real life valve position signal to the DCS. VPI is an intrinsically safe, Atex and IECEx-certified product approved for use in Zone 1 classified areas. In anticipation of the formal launch, various prominent end-users in the Oil & Gas industry already ordered their first pieces, largely based on their positive experiences with previous editions of Netherlocks position indication solutions, giving the market introduction of the newly released models a head start.
