Select the valve for the process.
Media, pressure, temperature and shut-off requirement determine the body, disc and seat materials.
Valve and actuator selected, assembled and function-tested together.
Media, pressure, temperature and shut-off requirement define the valve. Available air or electrical supply, operating time, control signal and fail position define the actuator.
Media, pressure, temperature and shut-off requirement determine the body, disc and seat materials.
Choose pneumatic or electric operation, then confirm spring return or double acting operation, the control signal and any manual override.
This example shows one configuration across size, materials, actuation functions and applications. Final selection depends on the actual valve duty.
