| A
solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve used with liquid
or gas and is controlled by running or stopping an electrical
current through a solenoid, thus changing the state of the
valve. The solenoid is an electromagnetic part of a valve,
comprised of a coil, coretube, core and enclosure. Solenoid
valves may have two or more ports: in the case of a two-port
valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port
valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports.
Multiple solenoid valves can be placed together on a manifold
Solenoid
valves consist of two main parts: the solenoid and the valve.
The solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
which, in turn, opens or closes the valve mechanically. Solenoid
valves may use metal seals or rubber seals, and may also have
electrical interfaces to allow for easy control. A spring
may be used to hold the valve opened or closed while the valve
is not activated.

Engineering Corporation
Valcor
is an engineering oriented company, designing and manufacturing
solenoid valves and other critical flow control devices for
the Aerospace, Industrial and Nuclear Industries since its
founding in 1951.
As specialty
valve manufacturers, Valcor accepted as its norm the most
stringent demands of government and industry. It's early efforts
were directed to the Aircraft industry, and was widely accepted
by all major military and commercial companies. Valcor is
today one of the leading suppliers of solenoid operated valves
to the aircraft and nuclear power industries.
Valcor
supplies 2-way and 3-way solenoid valves up to 6" line
size, as well as other flow control valves to serve the nuclear
industry, both domestic and abroad. They have been used in
critical applications for many years with an excellent history
of reliable operation.
Valcor
holds the ASME "N" and "NPT" Stamps for
Class 1, 2 and 3 valves and parts. The valves have been qualified
to the requirements of IEEE 323 and IEEE 344 for active 1E
applications.
