What is the difference between type A, B, and C guillotine valves?
The type A gate valves are the most frequently used gate valve type. Type C is specially intended for discharging solids beneath silos/containers. Please contact our sales department for individual consultation.
What is the difference between your type A guillotine valve and a guillotine valve with sealing on two sides?
The type A guillotine valve seals at maximum operating pressure only in the direction of flow and pressure, while in turn, the guillotine valve with sealing on two sides seals at maximum operating pressure in both directions.
What are the outstanding features of the AKO type "A" guillotine valve?
The type "A" guillotine valve is designed for universal usage, both for liquids and for solid media. The gate is rounded and the valve seat acts one-sidedly.
Can I also use the type "A" guillotine valve as a silo gate valve?
Due to its diversity and efficient design, the type "A" guillotine valve can also be easily used for silo locking. Rinsing connections can be optionally added on request.
How does the AKO type "C" guillotine valve differ from the type "A" version?
The type "C" guillotine valve is primarily used in the silo area. The gate is more solidly designed and can handle heavier loading. The greater overall height ensures a significantly better flow pattern, particularly for solids, and a correspondingly lower risk of clogging. Two additional rinsing connections are standard.
Is the type "W" guillotine valve generally preferred over the type "A" gate valve in wastewater applications?
Due to its special two-sided sealing, the type "W" wastewater gate valve has a higher sealing capacity with respect to liquids. This increases the risk of clogging, however, when a high portion of solids is present and for this reason the one-sided type "A" sealing gate valve would be preferable for this application.
Where is the Type "B" guillotine valve used?
The type B guillotine valve was specially designed for the blocking of pulp in the paper industry. Its non-stop gate, however, can also be highly advantageous for other media having high consistencies.
What is the advantage of a handwheel-operated guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle as opposed to a rising spindle.
Due to the missing spindle protection tube, the guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle has a lower construction height as compared to the rising spindle design, making the operation of a guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle more ergonomic. The smaller handwheel of the guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle up to DN200 can be additionally supplemented by a ball handle, making it even more easy and fast to operate.
How can I reduce the wear on a guillotine valve used for abrasive media?
The additional installation of a "B" wear protection ring in the passage prevents wear on the gate valve housing. The rings can be replaced according to wear. Subsequence installations are not recommended due to a very high expenditure. The type "C" deflector can be used any time as a wear protection ring and can also be retrofitted.
Are the guillotine valves completely sealed against the loss of gas, compressed air or vacuum pressure?
Wafer valves in the "soft sealing" design are highly leak-tight against liquids, but not absolutely gas-tight. Minor pressure losses can therefore occur.
When do I purchase a B wear ring?
Wear ring B (stainless steel) is typically used to reduce costs due to wear because only the ring must then be replaced and not the entire housing.
What effect does the usage of a deflection cone have in connection with the guillotine valve and when do I use one?
A deflection cone protects the housing sealing against wear and provides the medium with almost no possibility of penetrating the seat of the guillotine valve housing.
What can be done to prevent the guillotine valves from clogging?
Clogging of industrial fittings is usually caused by the application. Discuss your application with our sales department and we will work with you to find a suitable solution and remedy.
Do you also have guillotine valves for operating pressures greater the 10 bar?
Yes, on request. Please ask our sales department about them.
Do you manufacture the guillotine valves yourself?
We have a collaboration for this. The gate valves are specially manufactured for us.
Must anything in particular be noted when installing large guillotine valves?
We recommend using a support for the drive (bending torque) for guillotine valves DN250> when installing them in the horizontal position.
Do you also offer the guillotine valve made completely from stainless steel?
Yes, with the exception of the drives; please contact our sales department for more information.
Which coatings are applied to the guillotine valves?
Are guillotine valves also available with special coatings?
Yes, special coatings can be provided at a corresponding additional charge.
Are guillotine valves available with a FAIL SAFE function? (spring to open/close)?
Yes, both spring to close and spring to open pneumatic cylinders are available for the guillotine valve types A, B, and C.
Can the guillotine valves be started up in interim positions?
Yes, they can. Any desired number of proximity initiators can be installed on the guillotine valve’s support plate for interim positions.
How high is the maximum allowable operating pressure for your guillotine valves?
The maximum operating pressure of the guillotine valve types A, B and C is 10 bar depending on the nominal width and drops as the nominal width increases. Please see our data sheets for the maximum operating pressures of the larger nominal widths.
Are the guillotine valves pressure-tight from both sides?
Yes, but the guillotine valve side opposing the flow direction is only conditionally pressure-tight. Please see the data sheets for this pressure or contact our sales team with this specific question.
Which drives are available for the guillotine valves?
Single and double acting pneumatic cylinders, electrical actuators, hydraulic cylinders and automatic drives are available.
Which guillotine valves should I use and when?
Can air pressure also be applied to the spring-loaded side of the guillotine valve (gentle motion)?
Does a temperature change occur from the medium to the proximity switches?
The temperature drops considerably up to the proximity switches. Precise values must be determined on site.
Which solenoid valves are used for controlling air-operated guillotine valves?
Pneumatic gate valves with double-acting cylinders are controlled by a 5/2-way valve, and those with single-acting by a 3/2-way valve.
Starting at which guillotine valve size should I use a 1/2" solenoid valve?
We recommend using 1/2" 5/2- or 3/2-way valves starting at guillotine valve size DN250.
Yes, we offer diverse components for controlling the guillotine valves such as diverse solenoid valves, proximity switches, pneumatic positioner, electrical actuators, pressure regulating valves, etc.
What is the maximum thermal load which can be applied to a stainless steel guillotine valve?
We offer "metallically" sealing stainless steel guillotine valves for up to 600°C and soft sealing stainless steel guillotine valves for up to 250°C.
What is the maximum temperature at which I can use grey cast iron guillotine valves?
Generally up to 200-250°C. Depending on the usage conditions, the operating pressures additionally play a major role here.
Can your guillotine valves also be used as "end fittings"?
Guillotine valves are available which can be used without counter/loose flanges as end fittings. Please ask our sales team about the "lug-type" design.
Can the guillotine valves also be used at vacuum pressure?
Due to their design, the guillotine valves can be used only conditionally for vacuums and are only conditionally vacuum-tight. Please contact our sales team with your individual case.
Are ATEX-compliant guillotine valves available?
Yes, please specify the corresponding EX-zones.

When I first started developing on Linux and using Makefiles, I started with simple Makefile scripts and later built upon each preceding one. What eventuated is the attached set of files that should make compilation of multiple sources into a single target an easier exercise. There are, of course, many other alternatives, such as Automake, Bakefiles and CMake (all of which are far more sophisticated).
This is "THE Game Mk II"! concocted with my 'partner in crime' Xianhang "Hang" Zhang. There's ~20k lines of code after I coded for about 2 weeks straight.
This is the presentation we gave to demonstrate Teh Engine during the final Computer Graphics lecture in front of a full lecture hall of ~300 students.
(Thanks Ashley "Mac-man" Butterworth for operating the camera.) Please excuse my 'ah's and 'um's - it happens when I'm really tired. Was up for >48 hours.
It should be noted that I fixed the physics so the car behaves properly. Please read the previous page for more detail about the engine.
Teh Engine is a graphics engine I wrote in C++ using OpenGL. I boasts many features but can also be considered as re-inventing the wheel. However I believe writing such a complex piece of software is a 'rite of passage' for anyone seriously interested in computer graphics and creating well designed code.
During lunchtimes at high school I created many time lapse sequences of the harbour and the evolution of cloud formations. I filmed on a video camera at then sampled one frame every X seconds to achieve the speed up.
The frames of the video above were actually captured on my digital still camera (for extra quality) using the accompanying remote capture software.
Building on the foundations of the particle simulation, my friend Dom De Re and I decided to dable in the creation of cloth. The parameters are highly tunable and make for interesting results and 'explosions'.

Kendall Jenner is first one to star in Mango’s new string of ad campaigns to showcase the brand’s Spring 2016 collection. This part of the new line is called ‘Tribal Spirit’ and features prints, fringe, and lots of suede.
Dividing their new line into trends Mango wants teach new star to represent the idea behind it, with Kendall apparently being a perfect face of “a collection of uncontained beauty and cultural fusion, typical of the wildest Savannah”. This is a weird choice, if you ask me, although the campaign shots look quite good.
This part of the collection is full of thematic accessories, fabrics and prints, as well as loose silhouettes. The free-flowing dresses and trench coats mixed with occasional form-fitting pieces make a case for layering and enjoying the trends with comfort.

text: It would be nice to think that the Shins just exploded into the indie rock world back in 2001, arriving out of nowhere and inspiring immediate devotion from those who like their pop charged with smarts. Truth is, the roots of the band stretch back nearly five years earlier, when singer/lyricist James Mercer had the band Flake in New Mexico. Flake begat Flake Music. Flake Music did an album, toured and basically embodied the sound of an indie rock band struggling, but to their credit doing much more than that, by creating slighty spiky, melodic pop. The key factor in the story came when James Mercer decided he wanted to do his own project, his own songs, either for his own solo album or under the unlikely name of the Shins. He goes for the Shins. His compatriots in Flake Music heard the new songs, jumped ship and suddenly everyone is a Shin. The songs were recorded and ended up over at Sub Pop, and the next thing you know, the Shins are touring and eeking their way into the indie rock subconscious, helping Sub Pop sell more records than they have in years. As for the music: you can't hear "New Slang" and not think it's a good song. It's just impossible. The group's other songs walk that much-coveted line between familiarity and originality. There's a little bit of Kinks, a little bit of Beach Boys, some Echo & The Bunnymen, but it's truly nothing like any of those. It's book-smart pop that doesn't try to be too witty; it just wants to be part of the musical landscape for maybe a few minutes, maybe more. Through this, they've become romanticized and even imitated. A success story, to say the least, further cemented with a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album for 2007's Wincing The Night Away.

Sweeperbacks often have the most thankless job on the soccer field. They are noticed mostly when they make a mistake.
And if they are not noticed at all, it usually means they are doing a good job.
Larry Piturro, the Connecticut Wolves sweeper, has gone about his work steadily, efficiently and quietly in his first U.S. Interregional Soccer League season.
But when he left for Italy to try out with two second division teams, his absence was noticed loudly: two losses July 9-10 and seven goals against.
When Piturro, 23, a former Southern Connecticut standout from New York City, returned Saturday, the Wolves got a 3-0 victory over Raleigh at Willow Brook Park in New Britain.
"[Piturro] is strong and smart, and he crosses the ball with an exact touch," said Wolves player/coach Leszek Wrona, who often works 30-40 minutes after practice with Piturro.
"I would like him to talk more in the backfield; sometimes he's too quiet. But he is a real hard worker."
Piturro, who has relatives in Bari, went through preseason workouts with Pisa and Laspezia of the Italian second division.
After the Wolves complete their season, Piturro might return to pursue a contract.
"All they are working on now is fitness," Piturro said. "They don't use a ball, making sure everybody is ready to go when the season starts.
"I've been training every day for six months with the Wolves, so when I went over there they were surprised at how fit I was. I blended right in. But, it was still tough."
On the Wolves, Piturro has received support from defenders David Kelly and Toma Gojcevic, and David Clarke has filled in nicely for Steven Stokoe, who has been out with a knee injury since July 2.
hope fifth-place Richmond loses both its games this weekend to make the playoffs.
Richmond has 62 points and can advance to the five-team playoffs with a victory (worth six points) and two goals (worth a point each) in the two games. Richmond plays at seventh-place Baltimore (57 points, one game left) today and hosts fourth-place Charleston (72) Saturday.
Baltimore can make the playoffs if the Wolves (60 points) lose and Richmond loses twice.
"I think this is good for the league to have three teams going for the last spot on the last weekend," Wolves general manager Clif Onolfo said.
"Hopefully, we can be the one that makes it."
Greensboro (105 points) clinched first place in the Atlantic Division, followed by Delaware (87) and Raleigh (75). The fourth and fifth-place teams play off, and the winner meets Greensboro in the semifinals.

The Fresno State Bulldogs have added future football games against Alabama, Minnesota, and UCLA, FSU Director of Athletics Jim Bartko has announced.
Fresno State will travel to take on Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 9, 2017. The game will be the first meeting between the two schools.
The Bulldogs will begin a home-and-home series with the Minnesota Golden Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sept. 8, 2018. Fresno State will then host Minnesota at Bulldog Stadium the following season on Sept. 7, 2019.
Fresno State and Minnesota will be meeting on the gridiron for the first time when they square off in 2018.
The Bulldogs have also added a future game at the UCLA Bruins. The two will meet at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Sept. 18, 2021.
Fresno State and UCLA have met eight times on the football field. The Bruins hold a 6-2 advantage in the series, but the Bulldogs won the last two meetings in 2003 (17-9) and 2008 (36-31).
Did Fresno State already play a game at BYU? I’m only asking because I see that BYU is playing at Fresno State in 2017, but I don’t recall Fresno State playing in Provo in recent memory.
Scratch that. Fresno State is playing at BYU this November.
I’m surprised Fresno isn’t getting a home game against UCLA. For UCLA, their fans could travel to a road game against a quality opponent. Plus, Fresno has a history of hosting big-name teams.
Look at that 2017 OOC schedule. Yes, one FCS, but @ ‘Bama, @ Washington, then home for BYU. That is scheduling up. Nice schedule Fresno.
Fresno could be the first team ever to beat Incarnate Word in Alabama in back to back weeks. They probably won’t; but they could..
Would be interesting to see how many West LA types would travel to Fresno for a game. Those that did probably wouldn’t admit it to their friends!
I think it’d be nice for Fresno State fans to have an opportunity to see their team play in a venue like the Rose Bowl. And for the players to have an opportunity to play on such a storied field. It is a really nice stadium with an awesome history.
I went down to watch Fresno State play UCLA back in ’08 at the Rose Bowl. Fresno beat them and there was a nasty heat wave that day. People were passing out from the heat. So the Bulldogs have played there.
That is so true because playing in that dumpy cement box they call a stadium is no great thrill. The rose bowl is second to none.
Will there be a travel package available for the Alabama game?
You’ll have to check with the school on that.

Workplace Analysis What does it involve and why is it invaluable?
The key to any successful design project is a clear understanding of needs – and the perfect outcome for all.
In an office design context, workplace analysis is critical. This initial engagement forms the basis of the brief and helps us to create the optimum, most efficient, practical and attractive space for your organisation.
What does workplace analysis involve?
We start with engagement and surveys with key members of your team, your staff and your stakeholders to find out about organisational structure and how departments work with each other.
Elements such as culture, brand, people, processes, business strategy and technology are all vital when it comes to ensuring your new workplace supports everyone’s needs.
Staff engagement underpins this whole process and determines the best outcome for all.
Many of our clients, including global giants CPP Group in Leeds and Mayborn Group in Newcastle, have moved to new headquarters or refurbished their existing offices in order to offer a spectacular working environment to attract and retain staff – and this has been stipulated clearly in their brief. Engaging with existing personnel during workplace analysis offers us a valuable insight into their ideal hopes and dreams for the perfect office.
Brief taking sessions are initially held with a nominated representative from each department to determine the team and resource requirements.
You then might take the decision to involve the wider teams by holding workshops, surveys, anonymous feedback sessions. Staff engagement at this early stage is an excellent way of finding out exactly how your business, its culture and the workplace currently operate, as well as engaging and involving all staff in their new offices.
We find that employees are usually more receptive and honest when communicating with an outside, independent company, than directly with their employer. This way we find out what’s really going on within the working environment, what’s working and what’s not.
From staff feedback via Ben Johnson Interiors, the client can also consider how they can adopt better, more efficient and effective working practices and this often influences the new design and layout of their proposed workspace.
An audit of existing furniture and facilities in the existing offices is also undertaken. This ensures essential requirements are allowed for in the new scheme and sizes of large copiers and other necessary equipment are accurately recorded.
How is all this information presented and what do we learn from it?
All the information captured is reflected in an organisational chart which graphically reflects all the requirements of the operational departments on a single, A1 sheet– in terms of headcount; expansion, storage, equipment and ancillary areas. It allows easy cross reference of information between departments, enabling us to establish each team’s ideal space requirement and the overall workspace area required for the operation.
Space planning or space optimisation is the next part of our design process. This will usually be presented in 2D plans or a birds eye view which helps everyone understand exactly how your space can be used in order to maximise square footage but also to allow easy movement of people, provide appropriate natural lighting and adopt new, more efficient working practices.
Ben Johnson designers take inspiration from various sources, and we can create many different design styles for our clients. This ensures that we can find a look that is right for you, whether this be rustic, corporate, quirky, or just plain and simple.
Subject to the wishes of the client, staff are consulted at every stage to gauge reaction.
Unlike many interior designers, you’ll find we also keep things real. Balancing cost and aesthetics is critical for the success of your project. Our experienced estimators work with you and the designers to select the best finishes and fittings to suit your budget, design vision, functionality and environmental credentials.
For LCF Law, Ben Johnson completed a workplace analysis involving interviews with key members of staff to understand their working practices. This covered meeting room facilities, storage requirements, access to printers and numbers of workstations, as well as team communication, noise control, ability to concentrate, collaboration and informal interaction. The analysis allowed us to generate a space requirement for the organisation, which LCF could then use in their search for alternative accommodation.
Ben Johnson Interiors were appointed to conduct a workplace analysis for Spectrum Community Health CIC which provides advice, care and treatment through a range of health and wellbeing services for people in Wakefield on behalf of the NHS.
We needed to find the ideal type of workplace for a rapidly growing business and increasing numbers of itinerant staff. The majority of Spectrum’s workforce worked off site at client premises. They required an office that could provide a workstation when they had admin tasks and meeting spaces for collaboration or private briefing sessions.
Ben Johnson Interiors carried out a series of audits and interviews to establish square footage requirements and enabled Spectrum to select two floors at Navigation Walk in Wakefield. We then carried out design and fit-out, paying particular attention to acoustics, creating a large flexible meeting area and a stunning breakout zone.
So, if you are considering moving your workplace, expanding into a larger area, refurbishing or upgrading an existing office, it is highly advisable to consider workplace analysis. Engaging our workplace consultancy team in the early stages of your project will save you both time and money in the long run.
Through our vast project experience, we can offer impartial advice, challenge perceptions, introduce you to the very latest trends and technology, and encourage you to view your workspace differently – to meet your needs both now and in the future.
