  • AGM's Magnet Valves: The Best Protection For Aircargo During Rapid Decompression Events A pressure differential can develop quickly as an #aircraft or spacecraft ascends. If pressure is not equalized to safe levels fast enough, a differential over a vehicle or enclosure's pressure rating may develop. As a result, such excessive pressures can cause catastrophic failure of the vehicle or equipment. Understanding the functions of a breather valve is crucial in selecting the right one. It must #protect a container from excessive #pressure or vacuum differentials while limiting the amount of moisture entering it. An ideal valve should remain sealed except during altitude variations or extreme temperature changes. However, when open, it should provide sufficient flow to relieve air pressure as fast as it builds up. We specialize in #aerospace, defense, and #logistics applications. WANT TO KNOW MORE?

  • BREATHER VALVES FOR AERO AND OTHERS In the #aerospace industry, breather valves manage pressure, prevent damage to sensitive #electronic components, ensure proper fuel flow, and control internal pressures, such as in an aircraft cabin. Breather valves face significant challenges during the rapid ascent and descent of rockets, planes, and spacecraft. The speed differentials can be so high that they can easily damage an enclosure and cause a breather valve to struggle to keep up if not appropriately planned. It is crucial to grasp the concept of cracking and reseal pressures, the impact of pressure differential rate and magnitude on a breather valve’s performance, and the difference between spring and magnet breather valves. You can contact AGM for technical assistance in selecting a breather valve for your application. Keep reading the article here: https://lnkd.in/gurT9_B2

    Just wrapped up today’s recording of The Business Of, a conversation with one of Tucson’s very best civic entrepreneurs and businessmen, Howard Stewart. Howard is the CEO of manufacturing company AGM Container Controls, Inc., and has led AGM through exponential growth while also investing in his employees through their ESOP program (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) and maximizing little-known Section 127 of the IRS code that allows business owners and employees to give and receive tax-free educational assistance. We discussed all this and more, as well as his successful stint in the Tucson ice cream business (!!). Stay tuned for the episode to drop on the show, airing live Sunday mornings on 94.9 KMXZ, 96.1 KLPX, 102.1 KFMA, and 104.9 ESPN, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
