Space Valves - Utilizing Mass Flow Meters to Supply Critical Components to the Aerospace Industry

Kyle Meeuwsen, founder of Space Valves, had been in the aerospace industry for nearly a decade when he noticed a severe shortage of key components necessary for space exploration. As a result, Meeuwsen began making his own valves necessary for a range of missions. Space Valves is now expanding and quickly becoming a key manufacturer for many companies in the industry. Today, Space Valves builds custom valves that are on lunar spacecraft, main stage engines, upper stages, and other mission-critical systems.

Utilizing Alicat's Mass Flow Meters, Space Valves is able to provide fast leak testing that outputs high resolution data to ensure their customers are receiving the highest quality product necessary. Gone are the days of bubble tests, Alicat’s instrumentation now allows companies like Space Valves to move quickly and be more precise.
