Pneumatic Control Valve

Description

Pneumatic Control Valve

Pneumatic Control Valve

Industrial Pneumatic Globe Control Valves | WCB / SS | Two Way & Three Way

MNC Valves is a Manufacturer of Pneumatic Control Valve in India supplying industrial control valves designed for accurate regulation of flow, pressure, and temperature in automated process systems.

Pneumatic control valves operate using compressed air actuators which provide fast response and reliable throttling performance in industrial pipelines.

These valves are widely used in process industries including chemical plants, power plants, water treatment systems, and industrial automation systems.

MANUFACTURING STANDARDS

Manufactured in accordance with internationally recognized engineering standards:

  • ASME B16.34 – Pressure Temperature Ratings
  • ASME B16.5 – Flanged End Connections
  • API 598 – Testing & Inspection
  • IEC 60534 – Control Valve Performance
  • ISO 5211 – Actuator Mounting Interface

PRODUCT DESIGN OVERVIEW

Pneumatic control valves regulate process flow through a modulating valve plug controlled by a pneumatic actuator.

The actuator receives signal input from a controller and adjusts valve position to regulate the process variable.

Typical configuration includes:

  • Valve body
  • Trim assembly (plug, seat, stem)
  • Pneumatic diaphragm actuator
  • Positioner (optional)

This design enables continuous throttling and precise flow regulation.

VALVE CONFIGURATIONS

Two Way Pneumatic Control Valve

Two way control valves regulate flow between a single inlet and outlet.

Functions:

  • Flow control
  • Pressure regulation
  • Temperature control

Used in most industrial flow control applications.

Three Way Pneumatic Control Valve

Three way control valves are used for mixing or diverting services.

Types include:

  • Mixing valve configuration
  • Diverting valve configuration

Commonly used in heat exchangers and temperature control systems.

SIZE & PRESSURE RANGE

  • Size Range: DN 15 mm to DN 300 mm
  • Larger sizes available on request

Pressure ratings depend on body material and design conditions.

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

Body Material Options Trim Materials Seat Materials
WCB – Carbon Steel, SS304 – Stainless Steel, SS316 – Stainless Steel Stainless Steel trim, Hardened trim options available PTFE, Metal seat (application dependent)

DESIGN FEATURES

Pneumatic actuators available include:

Spring Return Pneumatic Actuator

  • Fail open or fail close operation
  • Used in safety critical applications

Double Acting Pneumatic Actuator

  • Used where compressed air supply is continuous
  • Faster response operation

Accessories available:

  • Electro-pneumatic positioner
  • Limit switches
  • Air filter regulator

TESTING & QUALITY CONTROL

All control valves are tested according to API 598.

Testing includes:

  • Hydrostatic shell test
  • Seat leakage test
  • Functional actuator test
  • Stroke testing

Third-party inspection can be arranged upon request.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Pneumatic control valves receive a control signal from the process control system.

The actuator moves the valve stem to adjust the valve opening.

This regulates process parameters including:

  • Flow rate
  • Pressure
  • Temperature

Continuous modulation allows accurate process control.

INDUSTRIES SERVED

Pneumatic control valves are used in:

  • Chemical processing plants
  • Power generation plants
  • Water treatment facilities
  • HVAC systems
  • Industrial automation systems
