Description

The Control Valve Characteristics Trainer is designed to understand the control valve operation and its flow characteristics. It consists of pneumatic control valves of linear, equal% (ACE 502A) (& quick opening for product ACE 502B) 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 using manometer. Air regulator and pressure gauges are provided for the control valve actuation. In case of additional optional requirement, a valve positioner is fitted on linear valve. The setup is stand-alone type.
