Valves, Actuators and Positioners, Oh My!

FAST, ACCURATE POSITIONING
The EDP300 series digital positioner regulates rotary and air-driven linear actuators, including control valves. It uses an advanced algorithm to precisely position the valve actuator. Diagnostics include optional pressure sensors to determine valve/actuator performance and a partial stroke test function for in-process verification of valve integrity.

CLEAN VALVES, SENSORS, CONTROLLERS
The Burkert Element line of valves, sensors and controllers offer a clean environment for hygienic processes. They offer reliable control of fluids, including steam, corrosive solvents and chemicals or abrasive fluids, such as slurries. There are no coatings, pockets or external pneumatic lines to hinder cleanliness, and valves are delivered with bright visual feedback via signal LEDs or a backlit graphic display.

ADAPTABLE ACTUATORS
The C27 line of actuators can be coupled to any one of several body assemblies or valve body models. It has higher bench ranges that allow for an increase in pressure drop capacities and an increase in flow capacities. The shorter stem and yoke make the valve assembly more compact, which means the unit will require less space when installed in a gas, oil, water, steam or corrosive liquid transfer system.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME
The Fisher VBL booster incorporates a fixed dead band, internal soft seats, and an integral bypass restriction that combine to eliminate the positioner problems. It features internal soft seats that yield tight shutoff to reduce unnecessary air consumption and eliminate saturation of positioner relays. The VBL booster features an aluminum body with ¼ NPT input and ½ NPT connections.

STANDS UP UNDER PRESSURE
Engineered for use in high-pressure chemical applications, including research, injection and pilot plants, the HP-60 is a 60,000 psi low-flow control valve. It can withstand intense pressure, and provides a moderate level of corrosion resistance. The versatility of the HP-60 means it can be used for both flow control and as a Class IV shutoff valve.
