wide spectrum of actuation requirements. Specifically, the solenoid operated types are compact, two-stage valves. The robust design is manufactured from 316L stainless steel as standard with anodised aluminium options also available. The valves are suited for offshore and other corrosive atmospheres.

With a valve operating temperature range of
-55°C to + 130°C and worldwide solenoid operator approvals Ex emb, Ex d & Ex ia for ambient temperatures up to 90°C, the solenoid operated product range is available with the widest range of override options. These include: auto reset, spring return manual override, stayput manual override, manual reset, tamperproof manual latch and latch energised. Low power options are also available, rated at only 1.8W.
Product design FMEAs, extensive qualification testing, computerised diagnostic factory acceptance testing and test procedures to confirm operational safety factors of all production valves, combine to support the certification of the BXS series valves as SIL 3 capable.

A NAMUR interface is available on 5/2 port configuration valves. These types are supplied with multi-functional adaptor plates to permit valve orientation through 90° or conversion to a 3/2 configuration.

Alongside the development of the BXS series valves, Bifold has designed the IPV (Integrated Pilot Valve). This is a cartridge valve that fits within the solenoid operator adaptor, permitting the solenoid operator to be connected directly to the BXS series valve body. This will be a more compact, simpler to maintain and more cost effective solution for the end user.
