Its compact size and 33 different trim sizes, Cv range from 0.0000018 to 2.5 and rangeability from 50:1 to 15:1, makes it suitable for additive injection, sampling and pH control. The valve can operate at pressures up to 5000psi and temperatures ranging from -80C to 500C. They can be supplied as standard in 316 stainless steel with stainless steel or Stellite trims, although alternative materials such as Monel, Hastelloy B & C, titanium and zirconium, can also be specified. Standard packing is TFE chevron rings with graphite, while Grafoil or Kevlar are also offered as options. The RC200 valve can be supplied with pneumatic actuators or positioners, air-to-open (ATO) or air-to-close (ATC) in die cast aluminium, with 316L stainless steel as an option. Electric actuators and positioners can also be supplied if air is not available.
