Control Valve Positioners
The reason why a pneumatic control valve’s stem position corresponds linearly to the amount of air pressure applied to the actuator is because mechanical springs tend to follow Hooke’s Law,...

Functional Testing of Control Valve Positioners
Valves, the actuators that move them, and the electronic circuits that control them, are all subject to aging soon after they are installed. Valve seats wear from repeated seatings and...
Pneumatic Valve Positioner Working Principle
The Pneumatic Valve Positioner is an instrument working on force balance principle to position the Control Valve stem in accordance to a pneumatic signal received from a controller or manual...
Control Valves Theory
The flow regulation in a valve is accomplished by the varying resistance as the valve is stroked, i.e. its effective cross sectional area is changed. As the fluid moves from...
