Valve manufacturer DeZURIK, Sartell, Minn., USA, has released its new Valve Selection Guide, designed to assist users with the valve selection process. The guide helps users navigate DeZURIK’s complete valve product line, based on valve type, general specifications, common media, and applications by industry. Specific industry applications in the guide include pulp and paper (and tissue).

The guide’s selection chart uses color-coded ratings to categorize each valve style’s general usage in a particular application: not used, limited application, may be used, typical application, and maximum performance. The chart considers both cost and performance factors for a specific application when determining its rating.

The maximum performance rating is assigned to the valve style that will usually provide the best performance and the lowest cost of ownership in a particular application.

• Eccentric plug valves
• Butterfly valves
• Rotary control valves
