White Paper "Valve Actuation: The When, How and Why of Actuator Selection"

Download Here

Valve automation dramatically improves control, precision and efficiency. While these advantages must be weighed against higher capital and operating costs, actuators are frequently found to be a cost-effective investment for most oil and gas applications.

Topics Discussed:

• Is automation right for your application?
• The actuator hierarchy
• Electric actuation
• Pneumatic actuation
• Hydraulic actuation
• Specialized actuators for pipeline applications
• Gas-powered actuators
• Electrohydraulic (EH) actuators
• Future developments
