Compact valve for reliable 'intelligent'
control
Pump Engineering introduces a compact, actuated control valve combining the benefits of accurate modulating control at medium to low flow rates with optimum automated process control
A compact, actuated control valve which combines the benefits of accurate modulating control of medium to low flow rates with optimum automated process control, is one of a range of valves available from Pump Engineering The Badger Meter RC 860 valve, which can be supplied with a wide choice of accessories including digital and analogue positioners, controls flow rates as low as a few millitres per hour and pressures up to 10,000 psi

Transferring very high viscosity creams, gels and pastes which do not flow used to present a major problem for companies in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and process industries
Digital versions offered include TZID-C and 1067, while analogue positioners include SRI 986, TZIM and 3767.
This allows for maximum control flexibility and communication in process systems controlled by HART protocol and Profibus.
The valve has a half inch body and raised face flanges (DIN, ASA, ISO) so it fits directly into pipelines of the same flange size and rating.
The compact design of the valve makes it especially attractive when flanged up to 0.75", 1" or 1.5" line sizes for controlling flow rates within the 0.5" valve size.
The important features and options of these intelligent positioners include, self- diagnostics, IP65 protection, intrinsically safe in hazard area zone 1 or zone 2, explosion protection to Eex ia IIC T4, position feedback 4 to 20 mA and two limit switches.
To meet specific application requirements, accessories such as a gauge attachment for air supply and outputs and a booster relay, are also available.
Standard RC 860 valves are available with body and bonnet in stainless steel, carbon steel, while Monel, Hastelloy C, Titanium, Zirconium are offered as options for critical applications.
Standard packing is with TFE chevron rings, with graphite also available: standard actuator material is die cast aluminium, with 316L stainless steel as an option.
A bellows sealed version can be supplied for really noxious fluid applications.
