Valves, Actuators & Pump Control


Modular, pneumatically actuated two port valve system

August 2007 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

The Spirax Sarco range of KE valves and PN5000 and PN6000 pneumatic actuators comprise a comprehensive selection of control valves for use on steam, water, oils and most industrial fluids. Modular in design, the KE control valve range incorporates many options within one body envelope. This flexible system allows one valve to satisfy the needs of numerous industrial requirements.

The KE valve range from Spirax Sarco is available with a wide range of options within one body envelope

When coupled to either a PN5000 (spring to close) or PN6000 (spring to open) pneumatic diaphragm actuator, the KE control valve range provides a solution for most flow, pressure or temperature applications.

Options include reduced capacity trims, hard facing, chevron seal, characterised plugs, noise reducing trim, soft seal trim, bellows seal or high temperature graphite rings.

Every valve and actuator combination is fully tested prior to dispatch to ensure installation and commissioning is quick and simple, and that this trouble-free operation continues during the service life of the product.

Testing includes a valve envelope pressure integrity test according to DIN 3230 and ANSI B16.34, a stem seal emission test, seat and plug shut-off test to ANSI B16.104 and control valve and actuator assembly function test.

User benefits include numerous valve options for a wide range of applications and an air-to-open or air-to-close option by the same actuator reduces overall costs. The amalgamation of valves, actuators and positioners in various configurations reduces costs and stock holding.
