Definitions. What is a control valve?
Consists of a valve connected to an actuator mechanism that is capable of changing the position
of a flow controlling element in the valve in response to a signal from the controlling system.

The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, etc., to compensate for
the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired
set point.

The control valve assembly typically consists of: valve body,

internal trim parts, actuator to operate the valve, and accessories (positioners, pressure
regulators, manual operators, limit switches, etc.)

Definitions. What contains a control valve?

Contains a valve (e.g. globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, etc.)

Contains an actuator (pneumatic, electric, hydraulic)

Contains a positioner

Cointains a charateristic (linear, equal %, quick opening)

Definitions. Control valve Classification.
In addition to linear and rotary, control valves are also classified according to their guiding
methods, characterization methods and the nature of services they are applied within

FTC - Flow To Close

FTO - Flow To Open
Definitions. Factors determining selection of valves
Their operation parameters vary widely in terms of pressure, pressure drops, flow rates and
temperature.

In addition, other crucial factors like noise, cavitation, wire drawing, leakage class and flashing also
play an important part in the selection of control valves.

Selection of a control valve body assembly requires particular consideration to provide the best
available combination of valve body
style, material, and trim construction design for the intended service.

Because there are frequently several possible correct choices for an application, it is important
that all the following information be provided:

Type of fluid to be controlled Inlet and outlet pipeline size and schedule

Temperature of fluid Special tagging information required

Viscosity of fluid Body Material

Specific gravity of fluid Trim and Packing Material

Flow capacity required (maximum End connections and valve rating

and minimum)
Action desired on air failure
Inlet pressure at valve (maximum (valve to open, close, or retain last
and minimum) controlled position)

Outlet pressure (maximum and Instrument air supply available

minimum)
Instrument signal
Pressure drop during normal
flowing conditions Valve body construction (angle, double-
port, butterfly, etc.)
Pressure drop at shutoff
Valve plug action (push-down-to-close or
Maximum permissible noise level, push-down-to-open)
if pertinent, and the measurement
reference point Valve plug guiding (cage-style,
port-guided, etc.)
Flow action (flow tends to open valve or flow
tends to close valve)
