GE’s Becker V-0 Control Valve is a segmented
type rotary control valve designed for mild duty
natural gas regulation.The V-0 features a high
capacity, cost effective design in a very compact
package.
The 35000 Series V-0 valve incorporates flangeless end connections for installation
between flanges. The 36000 Series V-0 valve incorporates raised face flange end
connections in accordance with ISA S75.04. The 35000 Series valves are offered
in 150, 300, and 600 ANSI ratings and the 36000 Series valves are offered in 150
and 300 ANSI ratings. The V-0 Control valve utilizes the Becker RSD Rotary Spring
and Diaphragm actuators. When paired with GE environmentally friendly control
instrumentation, the V-0 is the ideal high capacity valve for mild duty pressure and
flow regulation, and on/off service in natural gas piping systems.

Pressure Control with VRP Valve Regulator Pilot
The Becker Model VRP-SB-CH Single-Acting Pilot provides pressure control when utilized with
the V-0 Control Valve. The VRP-SB-CH pilot measures process sensing pressure and
positions the single-acting V-0 actuator to maintain the pressure setpoint. The VRP-SB-CH pilot
may be utilized for pressure control applications with setpoints ranging from 1.0 psig
(6.9 kPa) to 1480 psig (10204 kPa). The VRP-SB-CH pilot features ZERO BLEED™ in steady state.
Purely pneumatic pressure control
ZERO BLEED™ technology eliminates
atmospheric emissions in steady state
Design specifically suited for natural
gas production, midstream, distribution, and transmission
Setpoint ranges from 1 to 1480 psig
Rugged design is vibration resistant
and suitable for demanding pipeline
applications
Flow or Pressure Control with DNGP Digital Natural Gas Positioner
The Becker DNGP Digital Natural Gas Positioner is used with the V-0 control valve to provide
an accurate valve stem position that is proportional to the electronic command input signal
received from an electronic controller. The DNGP eliminates the need for an I/P transducer
™
and features ZERO BLEED
consumption at steady state. Additionally, the DNGP features
easy, menu driven setup along with PC interfaced diagnostic and setup features. Most
importantly, the DNGP offers multiple fail safe modes to protect your gas pipeline.

ON/OFF Over/Under-Pressure Protection with VRP-SB-GAP Controller
The Becker Model VRP-SB-GAP Single-Acting Controller provides on-off control when
utilized with the V-0 Control Valve. The VRP-SB-GAP controller measures the process
sensing pressure and closes the actuated valve upon pressure rising to the high
pressure setpoint. Conversely, VRP-SB-GAP controller will re-open the actuated valve
upon pressure falling to the low pressure setpoint. The action of the VRP-SB-GAP
controller may be reversed to open an actuated valve upon rising pressure while
closing on falling pressure. The VRP-SB-GAP controller may be utilized for gap control
applications with setpoints ranging from 1.0 psig (6.9 kPa) to 1480 psig (10204 kPa).
The VRP-SB-GAP controller features ZERO BLEED™ in steady state.
