Valves & Actuation

Thermoplastic Actuated Valves

 

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.


Ball Valves

Series 94 on Type 21 blue

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)


Butterfly Valves

Series 79 on Type 57P blue

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

Seals:

EPDM/FKM/Nitrile

Body Type:

Wafer/Lug body

End Connections:

Flanged

Disc:

PVC/CPVC/PP/PVDF/PDCPD


Diaphragm Valves

MAV on Type 14

Characteristics:

Multi turn valve with linear type flow characteristic. Good flow control, can be used for both on/off and modulating service. High tolerance to suspended solids, excellent for slurry service and high resistance to clogging due to debris. Bonnet can be removed for cleaning out valve.

Operation:

Electrical actuation (1/2" - 4") or Pneumatic actuation (1/2" - 10")

Size:

1/2" - 4" Electric or 1/2" - 2" Pneumatic

Body:

PVC/CPVC (1/2" - 4")/PP/PVDF

Diaphragm

EPDM/FKM/Nitrile/PTFE 3-layer

Body Type:

True union (1/2" - 2" socket/threaded)/Single piece

End Connections:

Flanged/Socket/Threaded/Butt (PP/PVDF)


Gate Valves

MAV on Type C

Characteristics:

 

Operation:

Electric 1-1/2" - 3"

Size:

1-1/2" - 3"

Body:

High Impact PVC

Seals:

EPDM (FKM optional)

Body Type:

Single piece

End Connections:

Flanged


Globe Valves

Electric-Globe-Control-Valv

Characteristics:

 

Operation:

Pneumatic or Electric

Size:

1/2" - 4"

Body:

PVC,PP,PVDF and PTFE

Seals:
