Burmad 100 Series – hY Flow High Performance Valves
The BERMAD IR-100 hYflow basic model diaphragm actuated, hydraulically operated valve is at the leading edge of control valve design. It combines simple and reliable construction with superior performance, while at the same time being virtually free of the typical limitations associated with standard control valves.
BERMAD’s automatic water control valves are designed for vertical or horizontal installation and are available in sizes of:
2”, 2”L, 21/2”, 3”, 3”L, 4” & 6” DN: 40, 50, 50L, 65, 80, 80L, 100 & 150.
The IR-100 hYflow model, made from industrial durable glass filled nylon, is engineered to meet rough service conditions with high chemical and cavitation resistance.
The hYflow ‘Y’ valve body design includes a full bore seat with unobstructed flow path, free of any in-line ribs, supporting cage, or shafts.
Its unitized Flexible Super Travel (FST) diaphragm and guided plug provide a significantly ‘look through’ passage from end to end resulting in ultra-high flow capacity with minimal pressure loss.
- Features
- Durable industrial grade valve design and construction uses glass-filled Nylon material to meet rough service conditions.
- Ultra-high flow capacity with minimal pressure loss.
- Designed for service on a wide range of pressure and flow conditions, from dripping to maximum flow.
- Simple design with few parts guarantees easy in-line inspection and service.
- Positive guided valve plug provides accurate motion and smooth regulation. Avoids chattering and slamming closed.
- Versatile end connections allow mix of different sizes and connection types.
- Articulated flange connections isolate the valve from line bending and pressure stresses

SSI P51 – MediaSensor
The (P51) MediaSensor™ family of bulk micro-machined, absolute, sealed and gage pressure sensors are for both harsh and benign media with superior accuracy. The MediaSensor™ family comes in a choice of three pressure sensing type conventions: absolute, vented gauge or sealed gauge.
These compact and robust sensors, with a wide variety of fittings, measure pressures from 3 PSI to 7,500 PSI and are well suited for a variety of automotive, industrial and commercial applications.
Absolute sensors
Absolute sensors (PSIA) measure pressure relative to a sealed chamber at a perfect vacuum, which remains unchanged regardless of ambient pressure conditions. PSIA sensors are used where vacuum, or both vacuum and positive pressure measurements are needed in an application.
Gauge sensors
Gauge sensors (PSIG) measure pressure relative to ambient pressure rather than a chamber sealed at a perfect vacuum. PSIG sensors are used for lower pressure applications where measurement in a vacuum in not required or provided.

Netafim M and WMR Water Meters
M and WMR Water Meters are the industry's smallest water meters. They offer the best cost, performance and long life. The M utilizes the multi-jet principle assuring an equally distributed load on the impeller minimizing wear and maintaining accuracy. The WMR contains an in-line axial turbine which allows foreign matter to pass through the meter without clogging. Wide clearances in the measuring chamber and negligible area of contact between static and moving parts are the main reasons for the high reliability of this design even in hard water. Available in 3/4", 1", 1 1/2" and 2" sizes.
Features & Benefits
- Industry's smallest water meters provide ±2% accuracy over a wide range of flows.
- Magnetically driven sealed registers are stainless steel encapsulated and guaranteed not to accumulate moisture or fog.
- 'M' Water Meters utilize the multi-jet principle assuring an equally distributed load on the impeller minimizing wear and maintaining accuracy.
- 'M' Water Meters have only one moving part, the impeller, is in contact with the water for minimum wear and the utmost reliability.
- 'WMR' Water Meters contain an in-line axial turbine which allows foreign matter to pass through the meter without clogging.
- Wide clearances in the measuring chamber provide full pipe flow measurements and high reliability.
