Bellows Seal Bonnet: A bonnet that uses a bellows for sealing against leakage around the closure member stem (figure 1–6). Bonnet: The portion of the valve that contains the packing box and stem seal and can guide the stem. It provides the principal opening to the body cavity for assembly of internal parts or it can be an integral part of the valve body. It can also provide for the attachment of the actuator to the valve body.

Typical bonnets are bolted, threaded, welded, pressureseals, or integral with the body. (This term is often used in referring to the bonnet and its included packing parts. More properly, this group of component parts should be called the bonnet assembly.)

More properly, this group of components should be called the valve body assembly. Valve Body Assembly (Commonly Valve Body or Valve, more properly Valve Body Assembly): An assembly of a valve, bonnet assembly, bottom flange (if used), and trim elements. The trim includes the closure member, which opens, closes, or partially obstructs one or more ports. Valve Plug: A term frequently interchanged with plug in reference to the closure member.

HTML clipboardLinear Characteristic*: An inherent flow characteristic that can be repreChapter 1. Introduction to Control Valves 5 sented by a straight line on a rectangular plot of flow coefficient (Cv) versus rated travel. Therefore equal increments of travel provide equal increments of flow coefficient, Cv (figure 1-2). Loop: (See Closed Loop.) Loop Gain: The combined gain of all the components in the loop when viewed in series around the loop. Sometimes referred to as open-loop gain. It must be clearly specified whether referring to the static loop gain or the dynamic loop gain at some frequency.

Manual Control: (See Open Loop.) Open Loop: The condition where the interconnection of process control components is interrupted such that information from the process variable is no longer fed back to the controller set point so that corrections to the process variable are no longer provided. This is typically accomplished by placing the controller in the manual operating position. Packing: A part of the valve assembly used to seal against leakage around the valve disk or stem. Positioner*: A position controller (servomechanism) that is mechanically connected to a moving part of a final control element or its actuator and that automatically adjusts its output to the actuator to maintain a desired position in proportion to the input signal. Process: All the combined elements in the control loop, except the controller. The process typically includes the control valve assembly, the pressure vessel or heat exchanger that is being controlled, as well as sensors, pumps, and transmitters.

Process Gain: The ratio of the change in the controlled process variable to a corresponding change in the output of the controller. Process Variability: A precise statistical measure of how tightly the process is being controlled about the set point. Process variability is defined in percent as typically (2s/m), where m is the set point or mean value of the measured process variable and s is the standard deviation of the process variable. Quick Opening Characteristic*:

An inherent flow characteristic in which a maximum flow coefficient is achieved with minimal closure member travel (figure 1-2). Relay: A device that acts as a power amplifier. It takes an electrical, pneumatic, or mechanical input signal and produces an output of a large volume flow of air or hydraulic fluid to the actuator. The relay can be an internal component of the positioner or a separate valve accessory. Resolution: The minimum possible change in input required to produce a detectable change in the output when no reversal of the input takes place.

Resolution is typically expressed as a percent of the input span. Response Time: Usually measured by a parameter that includes both dead time and time constant. (See T63, Dead Time, and Time Constant.) When applied to the valve, it includes the entire valve assembly. Second-Order: A term that refers to the dynamic relationship between the input and output of a device. A second- order system or device is one that has two energy storage devices that can transfer kinetic and potential energy back and forth between themselves, thus introducing the possibility of oscillatory behavior and overshoot. Sensor: A device that senses the value of the process variable and provides a corresponding output signal to a transmitter. The sensor can be an integral part of the transmitter, or it may be a separate component. Chapter 1. Introduction to Control Valves 6 Set Point: A reference value representing the desired value of the process variable being controlled. Shaft

Wind-Up: A phenomenon where one end of a valve shaft turns and the other does not. This typically occurs in rotary style valves where the actuator is connected to the valve closure member by a relatively long shaft. While seal friction in the valve holds one end of the shaft in place, rotation of the shaft at the actuator end is absorbed by twisting of the shaft until the actuator input transmits enough force to overcome the friction. Sizing (Valve): A systematic procedure designed to ensure the correct valve capacity for a set of specified process conditions. Stiction: (See Friction.) T63 (Tee-63): A measure of device response. It is measured by applying a small (usually 1-5%) step input to the system. T63 is measured from the time the step input is initiated to the time when the system output reaches 63% of the final steady-state value. It is the combined total of the system Dead Time (Td) and the system Time Constant (t). (See Dead Time and Time Constant.) Time Constant: A time parameter that normally applies to a first-order element. It is the time interval measured from the first detectable response of the system to a small (usually 0.25% - 5%) step input until the system output reaches 63% of its final steady-state value. (See T63.) When applied to an open-loop process, the time constant is usually designated as
(Tau). When applied to a closed-loop system, the time constant is usually designated as λ (Lambda). Transmitter: A device that senses the value of the process variable and transmits a corresponding output signal to the controller for comparison with the set point. Travel*: The movement of the closure member from the closed position to an intermediate or rated full open position. Travel Indicator: A pointer and scale used to externally show the position of the closure member typically with units of opening percent of travel or degrees of rotation. Trim*: The internal components of a valve that modulate the flow of the controlled fluid.

Valve: (See Control Valve Assembly.) Volume Booster: A stand-alone relay is often referred to as a volume booster or simply booster because it boosts, or amplifies, the volume of air supplied to the actuator. (See Relay.) Sliding-Stem Control Valve Terminology The following terminology applies to the physical and operating characteristics of standard sliding-stem control valves with diaphragm or piston actuators. Some of the terms, particularly those pertaining to actuators, are also appropriate for rotary-shaft control valves. Many of the definitions presented are in accordance with ISA S75.05,

Control Valve Terminology, although other popular terms are also included. Additional explanation is provided for some of the more complex terms. Component part names are called out on accompanying figures 1-3 through 1-6. Separate sections follow that define specific rotaryshaft control valve terminology, control valve functions and characteristics terminology, and other process control terminology. Actuator Spring: A spring, or group of springs, enclosed in the yoke or actuator casing that moves the actuator stem in a direction opposite to that created by diaphragm pressure.

HTML clipboardThe controller output (CO) is the input to the valve assembly and the process variable (PV) is the output as shown in figure 1-1. When the term Dead Band is used, it is essential that both the input and output variables are identified, and that any tests to measure dead band be under fully loaded conditions. Dead band is typically expressed as a percent of the input span. Dead Time: The time interval (Td) in which no response of the system is detected following a small (usually 0.25% - 5%) step input.

It is measured from the time the step input is initiated to the first detectable response of the system being tested. Dead Time can apply to a valve assembly or to the entire process. (See T63.) Disk: A valve trim element used to modulate the flow rate with either linear or rotary motion. Can also be referred to as a valve plug or closure member.

Equal Percentage Characteristic*: An inherent flow characteristic that, for equal increments of rated travel, will ideally give equal percentage changes of the flow coefficient (Cv) (figure 1-2). Final Control Element: The device that implements the control strategy determined by the output of the controller. While the final control element can be a damper, a variable speed drive pump, or an on-off switching device, the most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve assembly. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gasses, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. First-Order: A term that refers to the dynamic relationship between the input and output of a device. A first-order system or device is one that has only one energy storage device and whose dynamic transient relationship between the input and output is characterized by an exponential behavior. Friction: A force that tends to oppose the relative motion between two surfaces that are in contact with each other. The friction force is a function of the normal force holding these two surfaces together and the characteristic nature of the two surfaces. Friction has two components: static friction and dynamic friction. Static friction is the force that must be overcome before there is any relative motion between the two surfaces. Once relative movement has begun, dynamic friction is the force that must be overcome to maintain the relative motion. Running or sliding friction are colloquial terms that are sometimes used to describe dynamic friction. Stick/slip or “stiction” are colloquial terms that are sometimes used to describe static friction. Static friction is one of the major causes of dead band in a valve assembly. Gain: An all-purpose term that can be used in many situations. In its most general sense, gain is the ratio of the magnitude of the output change of a given system or device to the magnitude of the input change that caused the output change. Gain has two components: static gain and dynamic gain. Static gain is the gain relationship between the input and output and is an indicator of the ease with which the input can initiate a change in the Chapter 1. Introduction to Control Valves 4 Figure 1-2. Inherent Valve Characteristics A3449/IL output when the system or device is in a steady-state condition. Sensitivity is sometimes used to mean static gain. Dynamic gain is the gain relationship between the input and output when the system is in a state of movement or flux. Dynamic gain is a function of frequency or rate of change of the input. Hysteresis*:

The maximum difference in output value for any single input value during a calibration cycle, excluding errors due to dead band. Inherent Characteristic*: The relationship between the flow coefficient and the closure member (disk) travel as it is moved from the closed position to rated travel with constant pressure drop across the valve. Typically these characteristics are plotted on a curve where the horizontal axis is labeled in percent travel and the vertical axis is labeled as percent flow (or Cv) (figure 1-2). Because valve flow is a function of both the valve travel and the pressure drop across the valve, conducting flow characteristic tests at a constant pressure drop provides a systematic way of comparing one valve characteristic design to another. Typical valve characteristics conducted in this manner are named Linear, Equal-Percentage, and Quick Opening (figure 1-2). Inherent Valve Gain: The magnitude ratio of the change in flow through the valve to the change in valve travel under conditions of constant pressure drop. Inherent valve gain is an inherent function of the valve design. It is equal to the slope of the inherent characteristic curve at any travel point and is a function of valve travel. Installed Characteristic*: The relationship between the flow rate and the closure member (disk) travel as it is moved from the closed position to rated travel as the pressure drop across the valve is influenced by the varying process conditions. (See Valve Type and Characterization in Chapter 2 for more details on how the installed characteristic is determined.) Installed Valve Gain: The magnitude ratio of the change in flow through the valve to the change in valve travel under actual process conditions. Installed valve gain is the valve gain relationship that occurs when the valve is installed in a specific system and the pressure drop is allowed to change naturally according to the dictates of the overall system. The installed valve gain is equal to the slope of the installed characteristic curve, and is a function of valve travel.

(See Valve Type and Characterization in Chapter 2 for more details on how the installed gain is determined.) I/P: Shorthand for current-to-pressure (I-to-P). Typically applied to input transducer modules. Linearity*: The closeness to which a curve relating to two variables approximates a straight line. (Linearity also means that the same straight line will apply for both upscale and downscale directions. Thus, dead band as defined above, would typically be considered a non-linearity.)

HTML clipboardWhat Is A Control Valve?

Process plants consist of hundreds, or even thousands, of control loops all networked together to produce a product to be offered for sale. Each of these control loops is designed to keep some important process variable such as pressure, flow, level, temperature, etc. within a required operating range to ensure the quality of the end product. Each of these loops receives and internally creates disturbances that detrimentally affect the process variable, and interaction from other loops in the network provides disturbances that influence the process variable.

To reduce the effect of these load disturbances, sensors and transmitters collect information about the process variable and its relationship to some desired set point. A controller then processes this information and decides what must be done to get the process variable back to where it should be after a load disturbance occurs. When all the measuring, comparing, and calculating are done, some type of final control element must implement the strategy selected by the controller. The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve.

The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. Many people who talk about control valves or valves are really referring to a control valve assembly. The control valve assembly typically consists of the valve body, the internal trim parts, an actuator to provide the motive power to operate the valve, and a variety Chapter 1. Introduction to Control Valves 2 of additional valve accessories, which can include positioners, transducers, supply pressure regulators, manual operators, snubbers, or limit switches. Other chapters of this handbook supply more detail about each of these control valve assembly components. Whether it is called a valve, control valve or a control valve assembly, is not as important as recognizing that the control valve is a critical part of the control loop. It is not accurate to say that the control valve is the most important part of the loop. It is useful to think of a control loop as an instrumentation chain. Like any other chain, the whole chain is only as good as its weakest link. It is important to ensure that the control valve is not the weakest link. Following are definitions for process control, sliding-stem control valve, rotary-shaft control valve, and other control valve functions and characteristics terminology.

NOTE: Definitions with an asterisk (*) are from the ISA Control Valve Terminology draft standard S75.05 dated October, 1996, used with permission. Process Control Terminology Accessory: A device that is mounted on the actuator to complement the actuator’s function and make it a complete operating unit. Examples include positioners, supply pressure regulators, solenoids, and limit switches. Actuator*: A pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrically powered device that supplies force and motion to open or close a valve. Actuator Assembly: An actuator, including all the pertinent accessories that make it a complete operating unit. Backlash: The general name given to a form of dead band that results from a temporary discontinuity between the input and output of a device when the input of the device changes direction. Slack, or looseness of a mechanical connection is a typical example. Capacity* (Valve): The rate of flow through a valve under stated conditions.

Closed Loop: The interconnection of process control components such that information regarding the process variable is continuously fed back to the controller set point to provide continuous, automatic corrections to the process variable. Controller: A device that operates automatically by use of some established algorithm to regulate a controlled variable. The controller input receives information about the status of the process variable and then provides an appropriate output signal to the final control element. Control Loop: (See Closed Loop.) Control Range: The range of valve travel over which a control valve can maintain the installed valve gain between the normalized values of 0.5 and 2.0. Control Valve: (See Control Valve Assembly.) Control Valve Assembly: Includes all components normally mounted on the valve: the valve body assembly, actuator, positioner, air sets, transducers, limit switches, etc. Dead Band: The range through which an input signal can be varied, upon reversal of direction, without initiating an observable change in the output signal. Dead band is the name given to a general phenomenon that can apply to any device. For the valve

The Pneutronics Division of Parker Hannifin
announces the release of its new Low Energy Solenoid Valve, the TenX® Le. This
electro-magnetic poppet valve offers high performance in a lightweight 10mm design.

Providing up to 22lpm of flow through a 0.060in orifice, this 2/3-way
normally closed, normally open or 3-way distributor valve operates at up to 30psi with a fast response time (to 5 msec full cycle) and high reliability (rated for 20 million cycles without any performance degradation). The TenX® Le incorporates efficient pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit technology, which consumes an insignificant amount of power and generates minimal heat, making it an ideal fit for portable medical and analytical devices.

“We designed the TenX® Le to meet the needs of customers who require solenoid control and are sensitive to the size and power constraints on their systems.” says Dan Bantz, Product Manager at Pneutronics. “This integrated valve and electronics solution offers a pulse and hold circuit which drastically reduces energy requirements and fits this into a compact 10mm package - essential requirements for portable equipment”

The miniaturized pulse and hold circuit is virtually invisible since it is
perfectly integrated into the 10mm valve package. The circuit function is also
transparent to the application and does not require extra connectivity. The TenX® Le can be used as a stand alone valve with tube connections or in multi-station manifold mount applications.
