Company Description
We offer our customers expertise and competitive prices for maintenance and engineering related products including Boiler controls Flow and level controls Valves, cryogenic valves and actuators Constaflo valves Truflo pressure switches, Firetex pipe penetration seals Steve Traynor, owner of Bestobell, has over 17 years of experience with the products from Bestobell and Bestobell Valves, Mobrey Measurement (formerly Bestobell Mobrey) and MCL Unitex pipe penetration seals. We are proud to offer these products as well as a range of manually and actuated valves in cast iron, bronze, and cast steel and stainless steel. We are proud to announce our recent Achilles certification as qualified suppliers to the oil industry in Denmark and Norway (certificate number 27297). Best Engineering Service Division Ltd in Motherwell, Scotland, was opened in response to increased demand for a sales office in Scotland for the supply of our engineering products.

Bestobell Valves

We design and manufacture a comprehensive range of cryogenic valves, including gate, ball, globe, fill and relief valves. Generally used with cryogenic gases such as oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and liquid natural gas (LNG), applications for these include medical gas management, environmental control, static storage tanks and shipboard gas handling.

Truflo Valves

As protective flow switches from the Birflo range of flow control equipment, Truflo valves are designed and manufactured to the highest specifications using the finest quality materials. The Truflo valve operates via diaphragm action that is triggered by changes of as little as 2 PSI in the differential pressure of a flow through a calibrated nozzle. The diaphragm movement in turn operates a microswitch. Normally operated as protection against insufficient flow, each Truflo valve is calibrated at the factory to operate at its stated flow. The Truflo's minimum and maximum operating pressures are 3 psi (0.21 kg/cm2) and 150 psi (10.6 kg/cm2) respectively. Its minimum and maximum operating temperatures are 1C (34F) and 70C (160F). Available models are -Standard, -Commercial, -Industrial, -Marine M.O.D. (N) and NATO materials Silicon (Diaphragm)

Constaflo Valves

A simple water flow controller from the Birflo flow control equipment range, the Constaflo ensures the maintenance of flow rates within ± 10% of its rated capacity when operating within its rated temperature and pressure limits. When subjected to pressure differences, the EP6523 diaphragm in the Constaflo flexes onto a profiled orifice. This varies the area of the orifice which in turn affects the flow rate. In this manner, the Constaflo maintains a constant rate of flow despite varying upstream or downstream pressures. The Constaflo's maximum working pressure is 200 psi (14 kg/cm2). The maximum rated pressure difference is 200 psi (14 kg/cm2) and the minimum pressure difference is 15 psi (1.06 kg/cm2). Its minimum and maximum temperatures are 1C and 65C respectively. Marine and Commercial models are available in a range of sizes in gunmetal/kemetal and brass, with EP6523 or silicon diaphragms. Stainless steel is an option in some sizes, as are M.O.D. (N) approved materials. Multi-Constaflo valves are also available.

Mechanical Level Switches

We offer several types of magnetic mechanical level switches for pump control and liquid level alarms. All of them operate by means of a floating magnet which rises and falls with liquid level. If the change in level is large enough to move the floating magnet past a fixed switch magnet, their similar poles will repel each other, forcing the switch magnet to move and break a set of contacts.

Our mechanical level switches are available in a wide variety of configurations for numerous applications, including a submersible switch as well as a shrouded model for use with dirty liquids, and low temperature models. Alarm and pump control switches can be electrical or pneumatic and both horizontal and vertical mountings are available.

Vertical Level Switches

Our vertical level switches are weatherproof and flameproof, and offer a unique springless 3 magnet latching switch mechanism that overcomes all the inherent problems of micro switches and mercury tubes. They are available in direct mount or chamber mount, with carbon or stainless steel chambers.

There is a choice of two switching functions, DPDT (DPCO) or 2 x SPST (SPCO) switching. Four variants of each are available:

Long-lasting silver cadmium oxide contacts for general purpose use

Gold-plated contacts in a low power circuit for low current/voltage use

High power circuits with up to 10A switching capability

Lifetime hermetically sealed for the highest reliability

M Switch

The Mobrey M Switch provides high reliability switching in a simple voltage-free liquid level alarm or pump control with small in-tank dimensions. With rugged industrial build quality, its 316 stainless steel construction can be side mounted with either a flange or thread mounting. The gold-plated microswitch contacts are suitable for low level circuit use.

Typical applications for the Mobrey M Switch include header tank pump control, high and low condensate alarms in tanks, pump and level control in storage tanks and low level alarms for fuel and lubricating oils.

Boiler Controls

Since first entering the industrial boiler control market in 1923 with steam operated equipment, Mobrey's range has expanded to encompass most boiler control functions.

Today's products include:

Pump and alarm control

Sequencing blowdown valves

Fail safe, self-monitoring and high integrity controls and equipment

Conversion heads

Modulating water level controllers

In addition to boiler controls, Mobrey Measurement manufactures capacitive and conductive probe controls for steam boilers, flow meters for water, steam and fuel flow, obscuration meters for smoke density, and timed bottom blowdown, TDS control, remote alarm and shut down panels.

Firetex Pipe Penetration Seals

We offer MCL Unitex Limited Firetex penetration seals and enclosure systems, made from glass cloths, high temperature resistant cloths, metal foils, insulation blankets and felts, high grade stainless steel sheets and silica-aerogel panels.

An elastomeric membrane coating which has been tested to DIN53436H protects MCL's flexible systems against extreme environments. MCL's seals and systems are tested in accordance with DOE Specification Issue 1:1990 for a period of two hours following the hydrocarbon fire time versus temperature curve.

We are registered with Achilles for the provision of pipe penetration seals and other fire protection products to the oil industry in Denmark and Norway.

Mobrey Level Controls

We provide a range of Mobrey Level Controls and associated equipment. The range allows customers to select the correct level switch for their application. Examples of the range include Mechanical Level Switches, Vertical Level Controls, M Switch, Squing 2 Vibrating Fork Level Switch, Mobrey Float Operated Liquid Level Switches, Gap Sensors and Boiler Controls. We provide all of our customers with a first class service and always go the extra mile to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied with their service. Please visit our website to view datasheets or contact us at Best engineering Services for further information.

Ultrasonic & Hydrostatic Systems

We are also pleased to provide Mobrey ultrasonic and hydrostatic systems as level and flow control for the water industry. These units feature a 4-20mA loop powered transmitter and a multi-function control unit with integral programming keypad. The systems are ATEX II (1) G certified for use in Zone O areas. Mobrey ultrasonic and hydrostatic systems have been used successfully for many years in the water and waste water treatment industries. This range is built around a powerful new microprocessor for increased functionality and an easy to operate Human Machine Interface (HMI).
