What Is Self Actuated Control Valve

self actuated pressure control valve. Self-actuated pressure control valves serve to maintain an adjustable set-point pressure within certain levels in pipelines or vessels (tanks). They are self-actuating i.e. do not feature additional auxiliary energy such as pneumatic air or electricity to operate.

How does a self regulating valve work?

A self-regulated valve adjust the flow using the fluid flow pressure in the pipe. Then, the self-regulated valve receives its energy directly from the controlled system, so the amount of control is limited. However, the structure is simple and economical, and when used properly, the results are very good.

What is the purpose of a control valve?

What are Control Valves? Control valves are used in many processes to control flow, pressure, temperature or other variables. The type of valve used will depend on the size of the pipe, the overall pressure that the system operates, the flowing media, process conditions, and other factors.
