Typical Applications
Standard round ported ball valves have been used, and continue to be used, for many control applications such as services involving moderate pressure drops. These 1/4-turn control ball valves are more compact, lighter weight and much less expensive than comparably sized globe valves and segmented control valves offered by other companies. Control valves offer fast response times to control signals due to advanced digital control of actuation and the inherent strengths of ball valves. These valves exceed Class VI offering bubble-tight shutoff with zero leakage. Other features include superior rangeability and repeatability, high flow capacity, the ability to function with fluids containing solids and fibers, ease of maintenance and exceptional interface with PLCs and computer command signals. High quality pneumatic and electric control actuators are very durable and efficient.

Typical Applications
The 3-Way HB Series Control Valve with Electric Actuator is a robust user-friendly alternative to the standard pneumatic actuator on the HB Series Control Valve. With fast and precise movement, this actuator is designed to handle a broad range of applications including instantaneous and semi-instantaneous water heaters. Ideal for installations where pneumatic lines are not present or are prohibitive. The Electric Actuator utilizes either Super Capacitors (EC) or Spring Return (ES) which allows the specified port of the 3-Way valve to fail fully-closed.

Typical Applications
The HB Series 3-Way valves are used for mixing two liquid flows, or for diverting the flow of liquid to or around a device (bypass). In order to produce a consistent flow for stable operation, the pressure drop across both flow paths (inlet to outlet) must be nearly equal. The disc type design is constructed of stainless steel for extended service life. Teflon seat rings are available for increased shut-off tightness or for water or glycol type service, up to a maximum of 450°F. The Pneumatically operated HB Series is also available with the Type 2000 Valve Positioner. 3-Way valves are not for use with steam

These control valves, with stainless steel bodies, are equipped with a contoured plug design to withstand the rigorous nature of steam service and are compatible with many fluids and environments. Modern manufacturing techniques and modular construction allows these stainless-steel valves to be extremely cost-effective in comparison to valves with bronze, cast iron or cast steel bodies. The standard configuration has an equal percentage flow characteristic with metal-to-metal seating, spring-loaded Teflon V-ring stem packing and pneumatic actuator. The HB Series is available with either pneumatic or electric actuation.

Typical Applications
Type 2000 Valve Positioners (Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic) are mechanical devices designed to provide enhanced control, stability, and shut-off capability in extreme flow applications. The positioner, which is mounted to the valve’s yoke assembly and linked to the valve stem, receives a signal from an external control source, compares the control signal to the actual position of the valve plug, and then sends a corrected signal to the valve’s actuator, thereby positioning the valve plug for optimum flow modulation.

A drip well is provided for the accumulation of oil and water and a drain cock is included to allow purging of the unit. The filtering element is readily accessible for cleaning by removal of the drip well bowl. The maximum allowable supply pressure to TA987 Air Filter/Regulator is 250 PSIG. Improper application may cause failure of the regulator, resulting in possible personal injury or property damage.

Contact Us for more information on this product and to see other sizes that fit unique applications.
Typical Applications
An electronic sensor (thermocouple, RTD or transmitter) installed at the measurement location continuously sends an input signal to the controller. At set intervals, the controller compares this signal to a predefined set point. If the input signal deviates from the set point, the controller sends a corrective electric output signal to the control element. This electric signal must be converted to a pneumatic signal when used with an air operated valve, such as a Watson McDaniel HB Series Control Valve. The conversion can be made using a Watson McDaniel TA901 I/P Transducer, which converts a 4 to 20 mA electric signal to a 3 to 15 PSI air signal. As an option, a Valve Positioner such as the Watson McDaniel CA2000 may be used to send an air signal to the Control Valve. These Positioners can be controlled with a 3-15 psi air signal from a Pneumatic Controller or a 4-20 mA signal from a PID Controller.
