In 2007 , it achieved a landmark in the industry by developing and commercialising DN-200 x 300-diameter valves . Through continuous advancements in design , engineering and manufacturing , it has standardised the production of large safety valves and extended the product line up to DN-400 x 500 . Thanks to the full internalisation of its production processes and the flexibility of its facilities , it can quickly respond to requests and significantly reduce manufacturing lead times .
Precision Spray and Coatings announces additional capability
SIL certification for GEMÜ 650 diaphragm valve
The GEMÜ 650 diaphragm valve was the first in-house product from the GEMÜ range to receive SIL ( Safety Integrity Level ) certification . The valve can now be used in applications up to SIL 2 in a simple design and up to SIL 3 in a redundant construction . With SIL certification , customers can now easily use the GEMÜ 650 diaphragm valve in safetyrelated applications without having to carry out a separate “ Prior Use ” assessment , which was previously required for exclusive FMEDA use . This
significantly reduces the effort required for integration and makes the valve much easier to use . In view of the forthcoming IEC 17955 , which relates specifically to the functional safety and reliability of valves and actuators , SIL certification is becoming even more important in order to satisfy future standards and requirements . GEMÜ has thus achieved a significant step in the area of functional safety .
