Consider a control valve action,the inlet air pressure is only 6 ksc but
physically how it can be operate against 100 ksc line fluid pressure?
Answer Posted / carl ellis
The reference to 6 ksc pressure means that the valve uses a
pneumatic actuator.
The ability of a pneumatic actuator to work against the line
pressure depends on the force that it can exert on the
valve's plug/cage/trim against the line pressure's force and
the bench setting of the spring.
A maximum of 6ksc of air inlet pressure can be exerted on
the total area of the actuator's diaphragm.
If the diaphragm area * air inlet pressure > plug area *
line pressure force + spring force, then the actuator will
move the valve plug. If not, the line pressure will move
the actuator.
A standard step in sizing a valve assembly with an actuator
is to check that the actuator can close against the maximum
line pressure and the spring setting at a given air supply
pressure. All vendors provide sizing charts for this purpose.
