With no need for compressed air, early electric actuators could operate with less sound and less maintenance than the predominant pneumatic actuator.

“The sizing of actuators for on/off valves is an issue which needs more attention in the industry. One of the problems is that there is no international standard for testing and validation of torque data by valve manufacturers. These ‘paper’ data need to be supported by documentation that proves how these data are generated.”

Threaded fire safe fusible link ball valves: Fire-safe, fusible link ball valves are a great way to protect a valve line that is exposed to extreme heat.

Traditionally, valve actuation has been less well publicized and potentially construed as less important in the world of flow control than valves. But that is changing, and at an accelerating rate. This article will explore market drivers, significant developments and emerging trends that are behind this refining focus on valve automation.

Actuators and valves serve a wide range of applications across multiple industries and are both essential turnkey components of industrial automation.

Frost & Sullivan's latest analysis of the pneumatic valves and actuators market finds that Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) adoption is expected to increase significantly due to rising energy costs and end-user demand for lower product costs, improved operational efficiency, and increased machine uptime.

The Iraq-based State Company of Oil Projects (SCOP) is in the process of constructing the Karbala Refinery, which will use cutting-edge refining and automated control processes to optimize the production of petrol, jet fuel, gas and fuel oil and asphalt.

Auma, the electric actuator and valve gearboxes company with locations worldwide including the USA, has supplied 74 electric valve actuators for a tank farm operated by Shell Oman Marketing Company near Muscat, Omen.

Recent rehabilitation at the drinking Water Treatment Plant #2 in Olathe, Kansas, USA, has included the installation of Rotork IQ3 intelligent electric valve actuators to replace electric actuators from another manufacturer.
