Description
CONTROL
degrees between minimal flow and full capacity in response to a
signal from an external control device. The control valve, often
referred to as “the final control element,” is a critical part of any
control loop, as it performs the physical work and is the element
that directly affects the process.
A control valve is a device capable of modulating flow at varying
VALVES
Principles of Operation
A control valve is comprised of an actuator mounted to a valve.
The valve modulates flow through movement of a valve plug in
relation to the port(s) located within the valve body. The valve plug
is attached to a valve stem, which, in turn, is connected to the
actuator. The actuator, which can be pneumatically or electrically
operated, directs the movement of the stem as dictated by the
external control device.
Pneumatic/Diaphragm Actuated
Watson McDaniel Pneumatic Actuators are direct acting and
utilize an air signal from an external control device to create a
modulating control action. The force of the air signal is received
into the actuator through a top port and distributed across the full
area of the actuator’s diaphragm. The diaphragm presses down on
the diaphragm plate and spring return assembly, which then moves
the valve stem and plug assembly downward to stroke the valve.
This actuator will move to a stem-out position in the event of air
signal failure. The choice of valve action (stem-In-To-Close or
stem-In-To-Open) will determine its signal failure position.

ers high quality at an economical price,
off
incorporating many features found only on
more expensive units. The following Models are
available to provide the proper flow response
required by the application:
The W910A, W910B & W910C are used
for On/Off control applications, providing a
quick-opening flow response when used
with single or double seated valves.
The W910TB is used for proportional or
PID control applications, providing a throttling
flow response when used with double seated
or 3-way valves.
The W910EPA & W910EPC are used for
proportional or PID control applications,
providing equal percentage flow response
when used with single seated valves.
