Here is the straight right answer.

bench set of the control valve is matching with the
standard bench set of the valves." ie, valve spring range
is 0.2 kg - 1 kg. where the process fluid is clean, and for

Where these valves need regular preventive maintanence
(lubricating and changing the packings promptly or else
these valse will give erratic positions).
