Control Valve Characteristics…Code 318/318B

Description
The setup is designed to understand the control valve operation and
its flow characteristics. It consists of pneumatic control valves of
linear, equal% (& quick opening for product 318B) type, stainless
steel water tank with pump for continuous water circulation and
rotameter for flow measurement. An arrangement is made to
measure pressure at the valve inlet in terms of mm of water. An air
regulator and pressure gauge is provided for the control valve
actuation. In case of additional optional requirement a valve
positioner is fitted on linear valve. The set up is stand-alone type.
