Ball valves, butterfly valves, diaphragm valves, and gate valves are often automated with pneumatic or electric actuators. This allows remote operation for a variety of reasons: labor savings, plant safety, product quality assurance, and automatic sequencing. The choice of actuator type depends on many factors, including availability of air supply, cycling requirements, condition of the environment, compatibility with the type of control operation, and cost. Positioners may be mounted on these valves if flow control is required.
Characteristics:
Quarter turn valve with hyperbolic flow characteristic, low pressure drops and reliable sealing. Poor flow control, typically used in on/off applications with very little to no suspended solids. Multiport valves used for diverting, splitting lines and mixing.
Operation: Electrical actuation (all sizes) or Pneumatic actuation (all sizes)
Size:
¼” – 4”*
*6” end connections available for 4″ valve body
Body:
PVC/CPVC/PP/PVDF
Seals:
EPDM/FKM
Body Type:
Single piece/True Union
End Connections:
Socket, threaded, flanged, butt (PP/PVDF)
Characteristics:
Quarter turn valve with equal percentage type flow characteristic. Moderate flow control, can be used for both on/off and modulating service. Good tolerance to suspended solids but not recommended for use with slurries or debris.
Operation: Electrical actuation (1 1/2″ – 24″) or Pneumatic actuation (1 1/2″ – 24″)
Size:
1 ½” – 48”
Body:
PVC/PP/PVDF/PDCPD
