Types of control valves and its uses

Control valves are used in many processes to control flow, pressure, temperature or
other variables. There are many types of valves including:

• Butterfly valves – These valves are typically lower cost and use less space than other valves.

• Globe valves – These valves provide very precise control and are available with a wide variety
of flow characteristics.

• Ball valves – There are 2 main styles of ball valves, full and segmented.

• Gate valves – These are typically used for shutoff and isolation.

• Pinch valves – These are low cost valves usually used with abrasive or corrosive fluids.

• Plug valves -These are similar to ball valves but are less expensive due to their design.

Improving precision process with
flow control valve actuators

Process variables, such as flow, temperature, pressure, tank levels and more, need to be tightly
regulated to achieve the desired goals while maintaining operating safety and reliability.

When evaluating actuator options, engineers need to be aware of the limitations of pneumatic,
hydraulic and conventional electric actuator designs.

Here’s how Harold Beck & Sons manufactured the best actuator for industrial use.

Boiler Actuators From Harold Beck & Sons

Why do Beck actuators improve control and eliminate the inherent problems of pneumatic
actuators and typical electric actuators?
• Beck actuators respond to a modulating controller demand signal instantaneously,
regardless of changing loads and conditions.
• Beck actuators track the controller demand signal closely under closed-loop conditions,
with resolution unmatched by pneumatic and typical electric actuators.
• Beck actuators provide consistent control over time with virtually no maintenance
requirements.
• Beck actuators eliminate the dependence of costly and unreliable air systems, thus
eliminating problems like freezing and contamination.
• Weather, dust, dirt, and temperature (-40 to185° F.) conditions do not affect performance.
• The extreme ruggedness and quality of Beck actuators simply ensures that they outlast
and outperform other actuators.
